4. TE Darren Waller

The entire case for Darren Waller to make his second career Pro Bowl this season depends on his ability to stay healthy. If Waller can remain healthy for the majority of the season, then we have few doubts that he will play at a high enough level to be a Pro Bowler.

In 2020, the last season in which Waller played all 16 games, he caught 107 passes for 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns. If he has numbers somewhat close to this in 2023, then he will be a sure-shot lock for the Pro Bowl.

Pairing Waller with this NY Giants offense seems like a match made in heaven. This team has been without a WR1 talent since Odell Beckham Jr. While Waller may not be your typical pass-catcher, he certainly puts up numbers like a top receiver in the NFL.

With Giants fans behind him and a hopefully healthy season, it almost seems certain that we see Waller make his return to the Pro Bowl. Regardless, his impact on the Giants' offense will be made known. He's got the potential to be a superstar for Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka.
