I stand corrected for the 2022 Pro Bowl; what other season did he turn down being considered for the alternate role?

But the big picture is -- Prescott has been selected to the Pro Bowl team outright once (following his rookie season).
Turning down an alternate role as an injury replacement - usually with two other candidates selected also -- big difference.
I'm not sure the point here. I'm just correcting an incorrect statement. Pro Bowl is a Pro Bowl. Some deserve some don't. Tyler Huntley is a Pro Bowler whether it was deserved or not.

Huntley - and other players in his situation - get because only the players do the voting. Therefore you have teammates (and probably friends throughout the league) "stuffing the ballot box" to get that player in ‐ a loophole that occurs because of more than two injury op-outs.
My point is that turning down the alternate status basically erases the player from consideration, while a player that was selected to the Pro Bowl team originally still is deginated a Pro Bowl player - he if he chooses not to participate for whatever reason.

This was never denied lol. The poster said Tyler made one less Pro Bowler than Dak. I was just informing him he's been turning some down.

Here is a list of the Cowboys 4th round picks since 2012
  • LB Kyle Wilbur (12) - heavy contributor on Cowboys defense as rotation backup and special teams player for 6 seasons, plus 4 more seasons for the Raiders
  • S Matt Johnson (12) - bust due to repeated injuries over 3 seasons never played a down in the NFL
  • CB B.W. Webb (13) - 6 seasons for 6 different teams, plus 3 more seasons on practice squads - never made an impact
  • LB Anthony Hitchens (14) - 4 seasons with Cowboys - 3 as a starter, signed premium free agent contract with Chiefs and was starter in Super Bowl LIV
  • LB Damien Wilson (15) - 4 seasons with Cowboys - 4 more seasons as backup player in Super Bowl LIV for Chiefs, played for Jaguars and Panthers, currently a free agent.
  • DE Charles Tapper (16) - played only 2 seasons buried on depth chart in Dallas.
  • QB Dak Prescott (16) - 8 seasons with Cowboys, current starting QB, Offensive Rookie of the year, 2x Pro Bowl player
  • WR Ryan Switzer (17) - 5 year career, primarily as a kick & punt returner for 3 different teams
  • DE Dorance Armstrong (18) - Starter at RDE when Parsons plays LB, breakout season in '22 with 8.5 sacks
  • TE Dalton Schultz (18) - Starter at TE, Cowboys used Franchise tag to keep him in '22, now starter for Texans
  • RB Tony Pollard (19) - Will start in '23 for Cowboys, who used '23 Franchise tag to keep him. 1x Pro Bowl for 2022 season
  • CB Reggie Robinson (20) - two seasons buried on the depth chart in Dallas
  • C Tyler Biadasz (20) - will start 4th year for Cowboys in '23. 1x Pro Bowl for 2022 season
  • LB Jabril Cox (21) - rookie season lost to injury, currently buried on the depth chart
  • OT Josh Ball (21) - rookie season lost to injury, now being used as back-up Right Guard after washing out as a Tackle.
  • TE Jake Ferguson (22) - started 8 games in his rookie season, currently TE1 on the depth chart in his 2nd season.
  • DL Viliami (Junior) Fehoko (23) - rookie DE being converted to possible 3-tech pass rushing DT specialist. Too early to judge
In the past 12 drafts, the Cowboys have drafted 9 players who became starters for the Cowboys, and 3 players who became Pro Bowl players. That is a high, high hit rate for the 4th round.
Very high and why the Cowboys are sitting where they are right now. Time on the carpet for their returns.

True
he did not make the Pro Bowl originally but after some dropouts got invited as an alternate and turned it down
Quite. Wasn't Prescott a back up pro bowler in 2018?

I agree regarding pro bowl. They don't carry the weight the used to so All Pro is the more relevant award.
