Biggest Pro Bowl Snubs

Steve Slaton

Slaton is 7th in the NFL in rushing with 1,124 yards and probably deserved the nod over the Dolphins' Ronnie Brown.

Chad Pennington

Pennington's numbers might not be as flashy as Phillip Rivers', but you can't argue that the Dolphins have been more successful than the Chargers.

Ryan Clady

The Broncos' first-round pick has been nearly perfect in keeping prized QB Jay Cutler upright and has helped the banged-up Denver ground game remain consistent.

Logan Mankins

The Patriots veteran turned in another solid year protecting first-time starter Matt Cassel.

Owen Daniels

Antonio Gates reeks of a reputation pick, while Daniels quietly produced for the Texans, catching 60 balls for 714 yards through 14 games.

Michael Griffin

Two of Griffin's defensive backfield teammates made the roster -- safety Chris Hope and corner Cortland Finnegan -- but it could be argued Griffin and his five interceptions are most deserving.

Matt Forte

The Bears rookie running back has combined 1,539 total yards and 11 TDs, while Clinton Portis has 1,544 yards and seven TDs.

Madison Hedgecock

The Giants have the No. 1 rushing attack in the NFL and any coach will tell you Hedgecock is a big reason why.

John Abraham

Possibly the biggest snub of them all, Abraham is third in the league in sacks with 15.5 and is a major reason the Falcons are in position to make the playoffs.
