Top Five Biggest Pro Bowl Snubs | How Were They Left Off?

The Pro Bowl is one of the most celebrated events in the NFL, showcasing the league’s top talent and honoring the best players of the season. However, every year, there are players who, despite outstanding performances, are left off the prestigious list of Pro Bowl selections. These exclusions often lead to heated debates among fans and analysts, who argue that certain athletes have been unfairly overlooked. These omissions are frequently referred to as “Pro Bowl Snubs,” and they highlight the complex nature of the selection process—one that is influenced by fan votes, media attention, and sometimes even positional depth. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most notable Pro Bowl snubs in recent years and examine why these players may have been denied their well-deserved recognition.

Danielle Hunter, DE, Houston Texans – Hunter has 12 sacks, he is crushing his opponents and is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. How he was not on the roster is crazy.

James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills – Cook has 17 touchdowns, with 15 by way of the ground. He is one of the best running backs in the NFL and is just 19 yards from 1000. He is a dog out the backfield as a receiver too, pretty wild snub.

Kerby Joseph, S, Detroit Lions – He leads the NFL with 9 interceptions, and is on one of the best teams in the NFL. How did he get snubbed? Pretty wild to be honest.

Zach Allen, DE, Denver Broncos – I think Allen is a menace, who has been dominating all year. He is one of the best pass rushers and is causing havoc on opposing quarterbacks. He has 14 QB pressures when double teamed. How does this even happen?

Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Baker has been amazing and has the Buccaneers fighting in the NFC South. He has 4,279 yards passing and 39 touchdowns. He to me should be in the Pro Bowl.
