The NFL is loaded with talent, so it’s difficult to please everyone with Pro Bowl selections. But with that said, Bears receiver Allen Robinson was absolutely robbed when he wasn’t chosen as a member of the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl roster.
There is certainly a lot of talent at the receiver position in the NFC — Michael Thomas, Julio Jones and Mike Evans. But Robinson wasn’t even named an alternate, which is just absurd considering the season he’s having.
With Robinson in his first healthy season with the Bears, he’s been the lone bright spot in a sputtering offense. He’s the first Bears receiver to hit 1,000 receiving yards since Alshon Jeffery in 2014, and he’s brought relevancy back to the position.
Robinson has 83 receptions for 1,023 yards and seven touchdowns. But perhaps more impressive is that he’s been able to do it in less-than-ideal circumstances.
What Robinson has managed to accomplish in a mediocre offense — with questionable quarterback play and teams knowing that he’s going to be the go-to guy — it’s been astounding.
Maybe if Robinson was playing on a playoff-bound team then he’d get more attention. Given Robinson is only 26 and entering the prime of his career, his name should be on that roster next season.
