2014 Pro Bowl
January 26, 2014
Aloha Stadium
Honolulu, Hawaii
The Packers did not have any players selected for the 2014 Pro Bowl. The Packers were one of five teams without a player selected to the Pro Bowl: Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, and New York Giants. This is the first year the Packers did not have a player selected to the Pro Bowl since 2005, the year the Packers went 4-12.
Eddie Lacy was selected as a first alternate at the running back position. Lacy will be a candidate for Offensive Rookie of Year with 1,112 rushing yards and ten touchdowns. Lacy is definitely deserving of a Pro Bowl spot.
There were also seven other Packers announced as Pro Bowl alternates: Aaron Rodgers, John Kuhn, Josh Sitton, Jordy Nelson, Clay Matthews, Sam Shields, and Tramon Williams.
Several media outlets have listed Eddie Lacy, Jordy Nelson, and Josh Sitton as Pro Bowl snubs. The opportunity to go to Hawaii is still possible due to injuries and teams playing in the Super Bowl.
UPDATED: (01/15/2014)
Eddie Lacy has been added to the 2014 Pro Bowl roster. Lacy was added as an injury replacement for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. With the Pro Bowl nod, Lacy further cements his case for Rookie of Year in the NFL.
