Wagner has been selected to the Pro Bowl the last eight seasons since 2014. Over the last decade he has led the NFL in numerous single season categories. They include combined tackles (167 in 2016 and 159 in 2019), touchdowns from fumble recoveries (two in 2015), solo tackles (97 in 2017), and safeties (one in 2017).
