Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0safety\u00a0Justin Reid\u00a0took to X, formerly Twitter, on January 2 to publicly express his opinion regarding Kansas City cornerback\u00a0Trent McDuffie\u00a0not making the initial AFC Pro Bowl roster.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cRobbery\u2026 can\u2019t stand Pro Bowl voting format,\u201d\u00a0Reid wrote in response\u00a0to a post by Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports in which Schultz detailed the\u00a0financial ramifications\u00a0of McDuffie\u2019s Pro Bowl snub.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople consider the Pro Bowl a joke, and that\u2019s fine. But the Pro Bowl affects players\u2019 pockets, and that\u2019s where it\u2019s unfortunate when a player gets snubbed,\u201d Schultz wrote. \u201cFor example, Trent McDuffie has never been selected to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot, so his fifth-year option is about $12.7M. If he had made one Pro Bowl, it would be $17.1M. If he had made two, it would be over $20M. It\u2019s unfortunate for the players who are deserving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Will<\/p>\n

The four cornerbacks selected over McDuffie for the AFC\u2019s roster were\u00a0Houston Texans\u2018\u00a0Derek Stingley,\u00a0Denver Broncos\u2018\u00a0Patrick Surtain II,\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u2018\u00a0Marlon Humphrey, and\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u2018\u00a0Denzel Ward.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Chiefs team reporter Matt McMullen, McDuffie was one of eight Kansas City players who were selected as alternates for the AFC\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

McDuffie, 24, ranks third in\u00a0PFF coverage grade\u00a0among CBs who have played at least 80% of their respective team\u2019s coverage snaps. He\u2019s also allowing 60.7% of the targets thrown in his direction to be caught, which ranks fifth-best among CBs under the same criteria.<\/p>\n

Player selections for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games are based on the combined votes of fans, coaches, and fellow players, with each group\u2019s vote contributing equally, making up one-third of the final decision. Because of that, the results can oftentimes not fall in line with real-life results on the field. That was the case for McDuffie, who still doesn\u2019t have a Pro Bowl nod on his NFL resume despite unquestionably being a top 2-3 CB in the AFC this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
