Rams with the best chance to reach their 1st Pro Bowl in 2026

Rams with the best chance to reach their 1st Pro Bowl in 2026 focuses on which Los Angeles players, based on Sports Illustrated writer Conor Orr’s framework, could earn their first Pro Bowl nod next year. The article argues that while fan voting and opt-outs add uncertainty, first-time Pro Bowl selections remain a meaningful marker compared with All-Pro recognition. It highlights offensive linemen and skill players, starting with Kevin Dotson, whom Orr cites for his impact on the run game. Dotson played 15 games last season, when the Rams ranked first in rush EPA; without him, they fell to 16th in rush EPA in two games. Steve Avila is mentioned as a potential candidate, based on ESPN composite grading. The piece also points to Alaric Jackson, noting ESPN’s Mike Clay composite grades tie him for fifth-best left tackle. It introduces Colby Parkinson as another candidate, emphasizing his limited statistical profile.
