That he missed three games with a lower back injury speaks to his dominant play. So, who got snubbed? He’ll likely finish the season with more than 4,000 passing yards and more than 25 touchdown passes. He’s also scored 7 touchdowns.
The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest and Graham just learned that the hard way.
So, they have gone back to the old AFC/NFC format. According to a Broncos release, he’s the fourth linebacker in team history to be selected to at least five Pro Bowls. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott were the three guys selected to the NFC team. He’s made one more field goal than Bryant but has received two more attempts, giving him a lower success rate.
No Lions players were named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster, though four players were selected alternates for the game January 29 in Orlando: quarterback Matthew Stafford, cornerback Darius Slay, kicker Matt Prater and punter Sam Martin. After a hot start, Beasley’s production has slowed, having recorded a total of only eight receptions in his last three outings. He also made it in 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2007. 76 catches for 883 yards and 8 touchdowns. He doesn’t think it’s a big deal at all.
This marks the second-consecutive season that the Saints get shutout of the Pro Bowl. He’s now dealing with a high ankle sprain, so there’s a chance he may wind up not going to this year’s game, but he’s been named to the team for this season.
Hightower has 64 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two passes defended in 12 games.
Jordan is considered one of the better run-stopping defensive tackles this season.
This time around, with the Pro Bowl announcement coming up in less than a week, Slay isn’t as anxious about it.
