    What he's missing out on is the Proven Performance Escalator, which are a mandatory NFL wide incentive program for guys rounds 2-7. A first ballot selection would have bumped him up a level and could cost him @ $1 million in pay incentives. He gets no level for an alternate selection.

    That has nothing to do with his negotiated contract.

    Yes. And he should also be All Pro.

    Watt didn't deserve it is laughable. Look at what happened to this defense without him! He was the best player even injured! And still the best in the league.

    Its the Joke Bowl people.

    Yes I believe Alex Highsmith should have made the #1 spot but he is an alternate. He should get consideration for All Pro.

    Better then Alvin at this point. He is struggling over in Tennessee.

    Which Watt brother deserves it less, TJ or Derek (who I realize is an alternate but still…)

    It’s the Pro Bowl. Does anyone actually care?
