Probowl snub was a joke.

Cam deserves this.

How is Bell a First team All Pro as a "Flex", and a second team All Pro as a RB? Wouldn't 'flex' encompass the RB position?

For those that don't want to click, Steelers are: Decastro, Bell, Brown, and Heyward. All First team.

Pretty interesting AB the only unanimous choice and Lev Bell both first and second team all pro. I wonder if he gets an extra bonus for that.

Don't know, but my guess is that it will just give him (or his agent) more ammo for his "I want to be paid like a top RB AND WR" bullshit way of thinking.

Really happy to finally see Cam get what he's earned!

Isn't "flex" a fantasy football term?

I’m sure somebody does. I can honestly say that I’ve never watched a Pro Bowl in my life...

That's what I thought. Apparently it's also a spot on the All Pro roster

It's an improvement over the old fullback spot, much like how the All Pro defensive roster is divided into edge rushers (2), interior linemen (2), and linebackers (3).

Does anyone think that Shazier would have made either of those teams? If so, who would he have replaced?

My guess is 2nd team and bump Moseley.

I think he could have beaten Keuchly out on the first team at the pace he was going.

Glad to see Cam get some respect. I think he was a massive PB snub.

When the Pro Bowl was voted on by the players and coaches it had legitimacy but now that it is like 90 percent fan voting it is just a popularity and name recognition game.

I used to go to the game when in high school in the late 80's every year. I would even cut school and go watch the practices all week long. AFC in the morning NFC in the afternoon and the next day they would switch it up.

This is incorrect.

It's 1/3 fans, 1/3 players and 1/3 coaches

I'm not sure how long it has been this format however.
