Joe Alt was one of five Chargers players to be named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday. Alt’s nomination came as a shock as he played in just six games for the Bolts this season. Most Chargers fans had probably already come to terms with the idea that he wouldn’t be recognized for his great play this year due to the missed games aspect. Alt dealt with an ankle injury all season after he initially sprained it against the Giants and then suffered an re-aggravation vs. the Titans.
Now from a completely meritocratic games played angle, there were probably better picks than Alt.
