The Seattle Seahawks had four players named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday: Defensive ends Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril, linebacker Bobby Wagner, and cornerback Richard Sherman. They were all deserving (Bennett is a little surprising) but definitely there appeared be a couple snubs, none bigger than outside (?) linebacker K.J. Wright.
Wright’s having an incredible season but is overshadowed by the fact that he’s an outside linebacker in a 4-3 system. That means less flashy numbers. But for Wright and others, there are still other ways to get into the game, namely by being an alternate. Nobody wants to play in the Pro Bowl really (or watch it for that matter) and if you go to the Super Bowl, you can’t play in it.
