The 2024 NFL Pro Bowl rosters were announced Wednesday evening with the otherwise meaningless event set to take place in Orlando on February 4.

Despite the lack of overall interest in the annual event, there is always a debate that rages regarding players who might have been snubbed.

His San Francisco 49ers have a league-best nine Pro Bowlers this time around. But star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has to be seen as a major snub. The same thing can be said about Chicago Bears pass catcher D.J. Moore and Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen.

We’ll focus on the snubs in a second here. But before that, let’s take a look at the 2024 Pro Bowl rosters for each conference.

The Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers did not have a single Pro Bowler. There are several who have their opinions about the biggest snubs. Let’s focus on a few below.

Biggest 2024 Pro Bowl snubs: Josh Allen, Brandon Aiyuk miss out

Josh Allen heads into NFL Week 18 having accounted for nearly 4,400 total yards and 42 total touchdowns on the season. While he has also thrown 16 interceptions, the idea that Allen missed out over Patrick Mahomes doesn’t make much sense. Mahomes has tallied just 27 touchdowns to go with 14 interceptions.

San Francisco star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk heads into Week 18 leading the league with an average of 18.3 yards per reception. He has also caught 71.3% of his targets with Brock Purdy tallying a 124.3 QB rating when targeting the wide receiver.

Acquired from the Carolina Panthers in a blockbuster trade last offseason, D.J. Moore has been brilliant for the Chicago Bears. He’s caught 92 passes for 1,300 yards with eight touchdowns.

On the defensive side of the ball, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. was definitely a snub. The former second-round pick from Minnesota has tallied 12 passes defended and three interceptions on the season.

We’re also not liking that Chiefs star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed missed out on a Pro Bowl nod. He’s yielded a 51% completion and 56.2 QB rating when targeted.
