Shedeur Sanders will reportedly become a Pro Bowler in his rookie season as a replacement for Drake Maye.

ESPN reported on Monday that the Cleveland Browns rookie has bettered his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, who was drafted in 1989 but had to wait until 1991 to receive the first of his eight trips to the Pro Bowl.

Maye dropped out after the New England Patriots beat the Denver Broncos on Sunday to reach next month’s Super Bowl.

Sanders’s inclusion will raise eyebrows. The Browns went 3-4 in games he started and he completed just 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Josh Allen and Justin Herbert are the other quarterbacks representing the AFC at the Pro Bowl Games, which will take place in the run-up to the Super Bowl.

Other AFC quarterbacks who could have challenged Sanders for a place in the Pro Bowl are either injured (Patrick Mahomes) or spent lengthy spells on the sidelines (Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow). However, there appears to be no place for Trevor Lawrence, despite the Jaguars quarterback leading his team to the playoffs and enjoying the best season of his career so far.

Pro Bowl selections are decided between an equal weighting of votes from players, coaches and fans. Sanders, who was drafted with the 144th overall pick, received large numbers of votes from fans, which may help explain his call-up.
