Lane Johnson used Pro Bowl snub as motivation

There were a few glaring Eagles omissions from the 2019 Pro Bowl rosters, including offensive lineman Lane Johnson. After news broke that he didn’t get named to this year’s roster, he ended up driving to the NovaCare Complex in the middle of the night.

“I took last week as an insult.”

Land Johnson said the Pro Bowl snub left him sleepless. He drove to the NovaCare at 2:30 AM and fell asleep in the locker room.

Johnson is one of the best lineman in the NFL, has played through injuries, and put a lot of the team’s success and failures on his shoulders.
