Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson was a long shot to make the Pro Bowl, in large part because it’s hard to put up gaudy numbers when the team ranks 28th in total offense, so he brushed it off when the voting didn’t go his way.
Not only was Robinson left out, he wasn’t even chosen as an alternate. His 83 catches, 1,023 yards and seven touchdowns — the best receiving season for the Bears in five years — couldn’t compete with a loaded NFC class of receivers.
Robinson, though, remained upbeat. He believes he has put up a Pro Bowl-caliber season regardless of whether he got picked.
