Yep. Huge reach for me to factually state that Alabama had the most Pro-Bowl selections in the SEC. If it weren’t for Patrick Peterson, LSU would have been completely blanked.

I would also like to remind the class that this was this guy’s first post in the thread:

A reach is saying that Deion Jones isn't a real pro bowler because it doesn't fit ur agenda, or that Kwon Alexander who has led his team in tackles 2 of his first 3 years isn't worthy of one either. Btw kwon should be on that top 25 list he's only 23.

All those LSU players were picked by coaches makes that what you want.

Coaches opinions>>> yours

Take it up with the people who make the selections. I wasn’t the one that decided Deion Jones wasn’t good enough to be an original selection, and I wasn’t the one that made them only choose one LSU player. Sorry.

The original list is actually only 1/3 fan vote, and the other 2/3rds is made by players and coaches.

Sit down son.

Sit down? You the one questioning the technicalities of what's a real pro bowler because you feel some type of way about LSU really having the most pro bowlers.


Go tell a NFL executive or a coach that Deion Jones and Kwon Alexander are not really pro bowlers and see who gets told to sit down.

Ur reaching get over it.

BTW Honey Badger declined a pro bowl invite and OBJ was out all year we could have had 8 pro bowlers this year


Tre White and Fournette got snubbed could have been 10

I was not happy when we passed on Kwon. He was a better fit for a 4-3 though.

You’re trying too hard now. Started out subtle and smooth, and now you’re shitting your pants. I had high hopes for you early on.

Fournette


Didn’t he average like 3.8 yards per carry? Ranked 30th in the league. Bama had 4 former RBs with higher YPC than Leonard 1.7Nette.

LSU had the same number of 2018 Pro Bowl selections as Missouri Western State.

Leveon Bell had 4.0
LeSean McCoy 3.9
Jordan Howard 4.0
Melvin Gordon 3.9
CJ Anderson 4.1
Zelle Elliott 4.0

Seems to be on par with other elite Backs. Bama had one 1k yard rusher and that guy got his spot taken by a rookie.

Didn't Fournette take Yeldon's spot too lmao

30th in the league is good enough for a Pro-Bowl in your eyes? You just said he got snubbed. Maybe if he had gone to Utah State, who had more Pro Bowl selections than LSU, he’d have a shot.

Leveon Bell 1291 yards rushing 9TD 4.1 YPC


Leonard Fournette 1040 yards rushing 9 TD 3.88

Leonard missed 3 games guess Bell is not worthy of a pro bowl either.
