Tuesday night Pro Bowl selections were announced and San Diego Chargers sophomore running back Melvin Gordon was left off the initial roster and right now is slated as a third alternative. He deserves to play in the Pro Bowl and should not have to wait to see if multiple players drop out to go. Gordon’s stats back up a Pro Bowl caliber running back. In addition to his statistics, Gordon overcame other obstacles this year and that should be under consideration.
Melvin Gordon currently ranks 10th in the league in 997 rushing yards on 254 attempts and 10 touchdowns with only two fumbles.
