Buccaneers: Dear NFL, stop snubbing Lavonte David from Pro Bowl

Here goes nothing.

Dear NFL,

You messed up. Again. For years and years many players around the league have tarnished the reputation of the Pro Bowl game (some choose not to play at all), due to the fact that it’s mainly a popularity contest. Indeed, it is; and year after year, it shows. The most notable victim of this annual laughingstock is Buccaneers linebacker, Lavonte David.

David is a quiet, leave-it-all-on-the-field type of worker and a hell of a football player; an elite one, might I add. David has again had a quietly productive year for the Buccaneers, totaling 104 total tackles, one sack, one interception and two forced fumbles through 14 games as he’s taken a slight back seat to emerging Tampa Bay star, Devin White.
