I think he will be a lock for making the pro-bowl in coming years as well, and not as an alternate. When the other outside LB (Brian Orakpo) for the Skins comes back next year after being injured most of this past season, I expect Kerrigan's numbers to go up as O-lines from opposing teams will have two pro-bowl threats to contend with on opposite sides of the line and will no longer have the benefit of focusing on blocking Kerrigan alone.
