Earlier today, the NFL announced the 2025 Pro Bowl rosters. The Green Bay Packers had three players selected: defensive end Rashan Gary, safety Xavier McKinney, and running back Josh Jacobs. Gary and McKinney are first time Pro Bowl selections while Jacobs has made it from the third time in his career.
Two-time Pro Bowl left guard Elgton Jenkins was named as a first alternate. Additional alternates from Green Bay were tight end Tucker Kraft, quarterback Jordan Love, center Josh Myers, cornerback Jaire Alexander, defensive tackle Kenny Clark, and return specialist Keisean Nixon.
One of the NFC teams that had the most players chosen were the Detroit Lions, which makes sense as they are 14-2. However, one of their best players was noticeably snubbed from the roster.
Former Green Bay Packers Defensive Back Explains Why Kerby Joseph Was Snubbed from the Pro Bowl
Tim Watson, now Tazim Wajid Wajed, was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 1993 NFL Draft and his the father of Christian Watson.
After the Pro Bowl rosters were announced, he posted a very intriguing explanation of why Kerby Joseph, who leads the NFL in interceptions and is considered one of the best players at the safety position, was left off the team: NFL players and coaches were sending a message about his style of play.
Joseph is known for going for the knees of offensive players. He has already torn the ACL’s of Minnesota Vikings tight end TJ Hockenson and Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee.
Even though Joseph was the leader in fan voting at his position, it is obvious that he received very few votes from NFL coaches and players, who may have wanted to send him a message about the way he plays defense and tackles opposing players.
