by - Senior Editor -

Chicago Bears standout cornerback Jaylon Johnson has been selected to the Pro Bowl Games for the second straight season.

In 16 games this year, Johnson has recorded 58 tackles, two interceptions, seven pass breakups, and seven tackles for loss.

"Making this Pro Bowl is special, just [with] all the adversity that's happened this year," Johnson told ChicagoBears.com. "Battling week-in and week-out has taken a lot of fight physically but also mentally. Getting to the Pro Bowl back-to-back years is truly a blessing. I just thank God for all that he's done for me this year."

In his five seasons with the Bears, Johnson has compiled 209 tackles, seven interceptions, 48 pass breakups, 11 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

Johnson was the only Bears player to be voted to the Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl Games will be held on Feb. 2 in Orlando.
