In what is the biggest surprise in recent Pro Bowl voting, Raven safety Eric Weddle did not make the Pro Bowl. The star safety is the second alternate, per Luke Jones of WNST.
Dennis Pitta, Terrell Suggs, Eric Weddle, and Brandon Williams were all named as second alternates. #Ravens

Weddle was graded by Pro Football Focus (PFF) as the top safety in the NFL over the entirety 2016 season as of December 15.
After Week 9, PFF put Weddle on their All-Pro team, and put his name at the forefront of the discussion for top overall defender in the first half of the 2016 season.
