    selected to the Pro Bowl! The most of any Team! Lev Bell, Big Ben, A.B., David DeCastro, Big Al, Boz, Maurkice Pouncey, and wait for it... Ryan Shazier!

    Will say I'm surprised by AV, but he has a huge following with the fans after the kneeling debacle. Rest are no-brainers.

    Bell was the leading vote getter in the n.f.l. of course.

    Cam not being selected is an ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY! He's got to be thinking, as we all are, "what do I have to do??!!".

    Hopefully the Steelers players that were selected will be busy the weekend of the Pro Bowl, getting ready for the SB :herewego!:

    Villanueva getting voted in is a joke.

    Heyward being left out is a much bigger joke.

    I can look at AV as a makeup for all the other deserving Steelers linemen who did not get voted in- a list starting with Jon Kolb and stretching to Marcus Gilbert last year. And yes, Heyward is a glaring omission.

    Villanueva isn't even close to a Pro Bowler. That is all about his national anthem stance.

    I don't know if this is correct, but I think the last time we had 8 ProBowlers was in 95 when we went to the SuperBowl in XL.

    I have been waiting for a long time for them to match or beat that total. Should be 9 with Cam Hayward. Total BS...

    Three notes:
    1) I was hoping for JJSS or Watt to make it as rookies.
    JJSS: tough competition with high caliber and big name WR's
    Watt: not enough stats to make it

    2) Cam Heyward is a victim of his position and scheme. He should be there

    3) With this, Bell:
    Pro Bowler and, probably, All Pro

    League leader in:
    Yards from LOS
    rushing yards
    Rushing attempts
    Leading rusher in catches & receiving yardage

    His price is just getting (even) higher

    Who-T-F got in over Heyward? Clowney from Texans?

    This must be fan voting. That's the only explanation for AV. The players nor the writers would have voted him in.

    In the AFC I'd rank AV around middle-of-the-pack, 6th/7th... not terrible, but not a pro-bowl caliber LT.

    Heyward getting snubbed again is akin to that bs catch rule.....

    Congratulations to bos...... I thought for sure that damn cyborg in baltimore would get it

    While I love AV, I think this is completely a fan vote...... the other snubb here is actually Ramon foster for the 2nd yr in a row

    Biggest Steelers Snub- Cam Heyward

    The biggest non-steelers snub- Jordan Howard RB Bears.

    Omitting Cam Heyward is a travesty.

    AV i'm sure got the popular vote, a solid player but not Pro Bowl caliper.

    Glad the Wizard got the nod being one of the Killer B's.

    I don't even watch the game. Hopefully their are no Steelers playing instead preparing for another Lombardi...

    8 pro bowlers, if we don't win the Super Bowl it has to be the coaching.

    its just a popularity contest. Half the people voting just vote based on names they hear, they don't even know the true positions or what stats matter. AV obviously voted for the anthem, boswell was deserved although tucker could've taken it, Ben aside from the jax game is playing good, Leveon is leveon, AB is AB, pouncey overrated and decastro usually gets in there. Shaz had good numbers, but it's not just the numbers its the dynamic play he brings to the defense. almost polamalu level, noticed I said almost... not everyone can be a god... well maybe bosgod lol
