Five players I feel were huge Pro Bowl snubs
The Pro Bowl has come out with their list of Pro Bowlers, and there are quite a bit of snubs. I wanted to list five players I think were snubbed by the Pro Bowl.
1.) Trey Hendrickson, New Orleans Saints – I am sorry but he leads the NFL in sacks right now with 12.5 sacks. You do not have to like him, but he is the best pass rusher in football right now. For him to not make the Pro Bowl is straight garbage.
2.) Jordan Poyer, Buffalo Bills – The Bills defensive back has been their best defender all year. The Bills safety was the number one vote-getter at his position according to the fans. I do not know what happened but the Bills defensive back was a huge snub.
3.) Za’Darius Smith, Green Bay Packers – Smith has 11.5 sacks this year and was not give a spot on the NFC roster. I understand it is a feel good story to put Brandon Graham, but come on. Both Hendrickson and Smith deserve the spot more.
4.) J.C. Jackson, New England Patriots – How and the hell did Stephon Gilmore make it to the Pro Bowl over Jackson? Jackson has 8 picks on the season and is not selected. I am sorry that is pretty pathetic, they picked the wrong Patriot here.
5.) James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars – Robinson has fewer carries than Josh Jacobs, and more yards. He has three fewer touchdowns, but one less fumble. Robinson has carried the ball less than Jacobs and has over 100 more yards than him. I am sorry, Robinson should have been in over Jacobs, and Robinson was an undrafted free agent rookie.
