NFL Pro Bowl rosters were revealed on Wednesday evening and ESPN thinks a Buffalo Bills player was among the biggest snubs.
ESPN pointed out linebacker Tremaine Edmunds as one of the biggest Pro Bowl snubs of the year.
They think Edmunds should've made the Pro Bowl over New York Jets linebacker CJ Moseley.
Edmunds ranks sixth in run stop win rate among linebackers and is rated lowest and second lowest at the position in yards per coverage snap allowed and total EPA allowed, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
Side note: Inside linebackers really get the short end of the stick with these rosters — with just two per conference — while edge rushers effectively get six per conference.
Edmunds was certainly deserving of being named to the Pro Bowl this season. But ultimately, he, like the rest of the Bills' roster, has his sights set on bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Buffalo in February. I'm sure a Pro Bowl appearance pales in comparison to winning a Super Bowl.
