Christmas came early for two of the Miami Dolphins’ most talented players on the offensive side of the ball.

On Wednesday, left tackle Terron Armstead and wide receiver Tyreek Hill were named to the NFL’s inaugural Pro Bowl Games. It’s Armstead’s fourth Pro Bowl appearance in his career, while Hill will be making his seventh appearance.

If one of football’s highest honors wasn’t enough, each player cashes in in a major way with this individual accolade. Included in the verbiage of each player’s contract was a Pro Bowl incentive, meaning the pair will receive a significant bump in pay.

Armstead is the big winner, walking away with an extra $650,000 in his pocket. Hill made out just fine himself, earning a cool $250,000 with this recent achievement.

Armstead and Hill have been instrumental in the Dolphins’ offensive development, each playing in their first season with the team. Cornerback Xavien Howard will be playing alongside the duo, earning his fourth Pro Bowl nod of his career.
