Zeke will get in. 6 RB's get voted in right? Gurley, Zeke, Kamara will all get in. Those are big names that have produced. Barkley will get in as the new kid who is producing. Connor, Melvin Gordon, and Christian McCaffrey all deserve to get in, but one will be snubbed. Won't matter though, because at least half of these guys will drop out because their playing in the SB, hurt, or just don't want to go to Orlando.

Last year there was 3 RB picked from each conference. For the NFC either Kamara or Barkley will have to take the snub unless an alternate slot opens up (last year there was no alternate spots for RB)

Conner is laughable. The others deserve to be mentioned right next to Zeke.

James Connor is the only one that stands out. Those other 3 are all having great years so it makes sense.
James stands out because we don't get a lot of Pittsburgh games televised.

He has almost 1400 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns so far, those are Le'Veon bell type numbers

I honestly don't even know who John Conner is (or whatever his name is lol).

In any case, I would have thought that with how many Cowboys fans there are, that if anything Zeke would be killing it in the fan polls.

Hopefully he wont play in the Pro Bowl. Players that make the Super Bowl don't play in the Pro Bowl anymore since it's played a week before the Super Bowl now.

Zeke doesn't just lead all RB's in total yards rushing, he also leads in total yards from scrimmage and total yards per game.

It Should be:

Zeke, Gurley and Saquon Barkley as top 3 in voting. Christian McCaffrey is doing more damage than Kamara. It really should be those 5. James Conner is close but hurt.

The only reason that Zeke isn't leading in all 3 categories is because Linehan refuses to run inside the 10 yard line.
All three? Receiving included?
You know better than that
Plus, fwiw, Gurley has a whopping 19 TDs so far. In our less dynamic offense, Zeke wouldnt have 10 more TDs than he already has.

McCaffery probably should be in conversation too. He has matched or passed Kamara lately as an all purpose back

How in the world is the NFL's leading rusher 5th in Pro Bowl votes for a running back? The RBs I saw with more votes than him are:

-Todd Gurley
-Saquon Barkley
-James Conner
-Alvin Kamara
Zekes a work horse and not as flashy..not sure how Conner got in he not in their league.. Gurley and SB is understandable ..SB is flashy big chunk plays every week..Zeke gets it done he is SO Emmitt with a bit more speed and athleticism but he gets every yard available and not always looking fort hat one hitter which a lot of time requires luck with a hole being opened then hit at full speed all at the same time with the defense expecting something else..Zeke is a bit too patient at times and that why he typically leads I the 10-30 yard run category VS the huge long runs..Im not worried about the PB lets worry about a playoff run..

So far, rushing, receiving, and scoring all included....
NFC

Gurley
Barkley
Elliott or Kamara
Kamara or Elliott
Oops forgot McCaffery....who is right there in total yards from scrimmage, just after Zeke, Gurley, and Barkley......well ahead of Kamara

Conner has had a nice year but not like these guys

He should be in the MVP race. This team wouldn't win a game without him.

The only ones that should he remotely close based on hype and team record is Gurley and Kamara, but Zeke should still be ahead of them.

This is because Pro Bowl is a joke. It's a popularity contest. Every year you see guys get voted in, including Cowboys, that don't deserve it.

Many fans think Gurley is better (I agree) and Saquon has come on strong lately with a crappy team.
