I think those are the guys who end up in the PB.

Pretty impressive that Bell led all vote getters..............PITT isn't that big of an area and I figured it would be Brady or Wentz since they are both from large markets and are in the media so often.

His team mate coming in 4th is strong too.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Wentz led all players for a while, shocked he ended at 4th.

Goff is a pro bowler, who'd have thought that last year?

 

[Zodi]

Oh people think the Cowgirls offensive line is still good.

Looks to me like Pittsburgh pulled a Kansas City from a couple years ago in baseball. They had so many voted in.

Or healthy.

 

[I like Rams]

Saw they were looking for peoe to work the pro bowl over here in Orlando. Really thinking about applying and see if I can meet anyone.

Tyrunn Smith. Dude played as a shell of himself this year when he did play.

Lots of reputation picks.

With the least amount of votes among all starters, its probably time to move on from Hekker and reload at the postion.

They cheated I bet.

Well, not so fast. He was 4th qb in NFC

Wentz isn't playing, he's 3rd now.

 

[dieterbrock]

Wentz isn't playing, he's 3rd now.

Goff won’t be eligible either. He’ll have a game the next week

 

[bluecoconuts]

True that.

Or healthy.

They were good when they were healthy. Very good.

Now suddenly we're healthy and we're very good.

It's not that easy to get five guys healthy at one time in a 16-game season.

Is a big underrated reason we're doing so well but we still have to do better.

When you look at consistency, longevity, health and the technician he is with placement, he's the only punter who is playing to a Hall of Fame level.

He gets us 200 yards a game sometimes.

Looks like ESPNs Alden Gonzalez agrees with me.

In 2016 Johnny Hekker had the greatest season for a punter in NFL history.

Is there are more underappreciated yet important position?
