For most, making the Pro Bowl in the NFL might seem like a high honor or a lifetime achievement, but for Alejandro Villanueva, it doesn’t seem like the award means all that much. He was named a Pro Bowler for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. On a recent podcast appearance on The Team House, he was asked about making the Pro Bowl, which the hosts referred to as a “prestigious” award.
“No, it’s not that prestigious at all,” Villanueva said. “None of the awards – everything becomes subjective. One of the things about American culture that I’ve always loved has been debates about Kobe [Bryant] and Michael Jordan, who’s better…even now, the media television for American football or sports in general is exactly just that – it’s an argument as to who’s better.
