Tomorrow Pro Bowl rosters are announced, here are five underrated guys that better make the list
The Pro Bowl is a fun thing but sometimes the way it is ran is ridiculous. I mean there are always solid players that are left off the list, because a big name person ends up getting a vote ahead of them. Well here are five underrated guys that I feel need to be on the Pro Bowl and if they don’t make it the Pro Bowl is wrong.
Vontaze Burfict – I know many of you are going to say that I am just a fan of his, but let me say this; you have to be a good player when you team is winning and you lead the NFL in tackles. Burfict has 150 plus tackles and is the vocal leader of the Bengals defense. I would be blown away if he does not make it and some big name guy makes it over him when he has not done nearly as much.
Josh Gordon – Come on, I really should not even have to write something about this. The guy started off the season suspended and came back and is leading the league in yards? He better be on the list, I hope the fans can get this one right.
DeAndre Levy – The Detroit Lions linebacker has been pretty awesome this year, and if you didn’t know who Levy was before the season, you should know who he is now. He has definitely made a name for himself, with 6 interceptions this year. Levy is growing on me and should be growing on you as well.
Philip Rivers – This might be his best year ever as a quarterback, he has really looked sharp this year. Rivers has thrown for 4,249 yards and has the Chargers on the brink of the playoffs. Rivers is underrated but the guy will probably be passed on by a guy with a big name, that doesn’t deserve it.
Greg Hardy – The Carolina Panthers defense has been amazing and it has to do a lot with the edge rush of Greg Hardy. The 2014 free agent is about to get paid, and he should definitely be able to get a Pro Bowl spot, especially after his 11 sacks.
