The NFL announced its 2024 Pro Bowl rosters on Thursday. Despite having a disastrous season, this year's Chicago Bears were able to send a representative.  Cornerback Jaylon Johnson was the lone Bear selected. Johnson has started all 16 games this season, recording 48 tackles, two interceptions, seven pass breakups, and seven tackles-for-loss. This year, Johnson was chosen as a Pro Bowl starter after being tabbed as a reserve last season.

Per Chicago Bears writer Larry Mayer, Johnson is grateful for the opportunity.

"Making this Pro Bowl is special, just [with] all the adversity that's happened this year," Johnson told ChicagoBears.com. "Battling week-in and week-out has taken a lot of fight physically but also mentally. Getting to the Pro Bowl back-to-back years is truly a blessing. I just thank God for all that he's done for me this year."

Players were selected for the Pro Bowl Games by the consensus votes of fans, players, and coaches, with each group's vote counting as one-third. The Pro Bowl will take place Feb 2. in Orlando, FL.
