“God is good,” Mack said. “Thank you to the Bears fans for giving me the opportunity to represent Chicago in the Pro Bowl. We also have a few of my guys with me! Congratulations to Kyle, Akiem, Eddie and Tarik! Bear Down!”
Mack and his teammates are the first Bears defensive players to be named to the Pro Bowl roster since cornerback Tim Jennings made it in 2013.
The Bears also had seven players voted as Pro Bowl alternates, including QB Mitchell Trubisky, C Cody Whitehair, OL Charles Leno Jr., and LBs Roquan Smith, Danny Trevathan and Leonard Floyd.
