NFC Snub: Kevin Dotson, Guard, Los Angeles Rams

AP Photo

Dotson is a premier, elite run blocker whose importance to the Rams' offense was painfully obvious the second he exited the lineup against the Seahawks in Week 16.

The run game fell off, the team collapsed, and Seattle won the high-stakes match-up en route to claiming the No. 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs.

Not a high-profile name, but among the best offensive lineman in the game, Dotson was key to the Rams' seventh-best rushing attack in 2025 and allowed just three sacks in 888 snaps for Los Angeles.

His return to the lineup helped the Rams tally 114 rushing yards against a vaunted Seahawks defense in the NFC Championship.

Had the Rams not found themselves down by 11 more than once in that showdown, the run game could have been even more prominently featured and may have even affected the outcome of the game.

Regardless of that outcome, Dotson's play and positive contributions to the best offense in football should have earned him recognition as a Pro Bowl player.

AFC Snub: Josh Hines-Allen, Defensive End, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars exceeded all expectations under rookie head coach Liam Cohen en route to their return to the playoffs. One player who was a disruptive force all season was Josh Hines-Allen, the former seventh overall pick in the 2019 draft.

Hines-Allen tallied 21 solo tackles, 28 total (12 for a loss), and eight sacks. He was second in the league in hurries behind Green Bay's Micah Parsons with 20, recorded a safety, and tallied three passes defensed.

He was the best rusher for a defense that ranked sixth in the league in hurries with 65.

He had more productive seasons, including a 2023 that saw him record 17.5 sacks, but he was a constant presence in the offensive backfield, rushing the quarterback and setting up turnovers for his team to take advantage of.

For a team that is inexplicably under-represented in this year's Pro Bowl based on their success in the regular season, Hines-Allen may be the biggest snub.
