There are but a few days left in the season for the Dallas Cowboys as they will soon be relegated to the crop of teams not playing in the annual playoff tournament. Such is life.

Before the regular season comes to a close though, there are several matters for both the team and league as a whole to tend to. One is the status of the Pro Bowl, even if the event itself has lost some luster over the last decade and change.

While the game itself is a bit of… something… the reality is that being selected to the Pro Bowl is a big deal. On Thursday morning it was announced that five members of the Cowboys were chosen: Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.

From the mothership:

All five players made the Pro Bowl last season. Parsons is returning for the fourth time, making it all four seasons of his career so far. Lamb has also been selected for a fourth straight time and Turpin, Aubrey and Smith are returning for a second time.

Having 5 pro bowlers despite the season that they had early on is quite impressive from the Cowboys, although given there is a rising tide effect to playing for the team what with the platform that it provides. That isn’t to take away from the seasons that any of these players had as they are all very well-deserving.

The Cowboys shut CeeDee Lamb down for the season last week so it stands to reason that he may not participate in the Pro Bowl festivities. Obviously we will see about that.

Of these 5 it is easy to see the likes of Micah Parsons and KaVontae Turpin also getting All-Pro nods. Brandon Aubrey is a definite possibility there. It would not be crazy for CeeDee Lamb to garner a second-team selection. Perhaps that might be a bit too optimistic for Tyler Smith, though.

Congratulations to all 5 of the Pro Bowl players on the Dallas Cowboys.
