Colts News: Colts' Ryan Kelly, DeForest Buckner named to 2024 Pro Bowl Games

Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner were named to the 2024 Pro Bowl Games as replacements, the team announced Tuesday. Both Kelly and Buckner will be joining left guard Quenton Nelson at the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando. Nelson was the only Colts player voted as a starter for the Pro Bowl. Orlando bound!

Kelly enjoyed an incredible bounce-back campaign. Even though he missed three games due to two separate concussions, Kelly was one of the best centers in the entire league. According to Pro Football Focus, Kelly’s seven total pressures allowed were the fewest among all NFL centers with at least 300 pass-blocking snaps. He also allowed just one sack on the season. Buckner is likely replacing Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones. The veteran continued to be the engine of the entire Colts defense by putting together another stellar campaign. A model of consistency, Buckner led the team in quarterback hits (21) and total pressures (52) while seeing the fourth-highest double-team rate among all NFL interior defensive linemen (66%), according to ESPN. He also finished the season with 8.0 sacks, the third time in the last four seasons he’s hit that mark. This is Buckner’s third-career Pro Bowl selection (2018, 2021) and the fourth selection for Kelly (2019-2021).
