The Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday. They were pretty unexciting for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, though not wholly unexpected. Edge T.J. Watt and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward were obviously shoe-ins for yet another go-around in the game, being among the statistical league leaders at their respective positions, but this time, they have no friends joining with them.
Even though he put up a 100-tackle season this year, it’s understandable that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick did not get the same love he has the past two years, during which he was also named a first-team All-Pro. He only has two interceptions and four passes defensed this year, in addition to one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, the latter of which only happened this weekend.
