The Seahawks had a whole bunch of alternates listed when they named their three official Pro Bowlers for the 2023 season. That included rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon, first-time Pro Bowl safety Julian Love and nine-time linebacker Bobby Wagner. Now we can add three more names to the group Seattle is sending to the Pro Bowl games in Orlando this weekend.
The team just announced that starting quarterback Geno Smith, star wide receiver DK Metcalf and special teamer Nick Bellore have also been invited to the games. They will be serving as injury replacements for Rams quarterback Matt Stafford, Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans and Lions special teams ace Jalen Reeves-Maybin.
For Smith this will be his second Pro Bowl team – the first was last year coinciding with his Comeback Player of the Year campaign. Metcalf will be making his second Pro Bowl appearance and Bellore his second, as well.
