Bears players were surprised that cornerback Nahshon Wright was left out of Pro Bowl voting Tuesday. The only NFL player with more interceptions than his five is teammate Kevin Byard, who was named to the all-star game.
Wright had one notable fan post to social media in his favor Tuesday. Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who played with Wright in Dallas, wrote that Wright “getting snubbed for first team Pro Bowl selection is crazy!!”
Parsons texted Wright something similar Tuesday morning.
“It’s cool when you’re recognized by your peers,” Wright said. “Obviously, not recognized enough.”
Wright didn’t hide his disappointment with not making the all-star team.
“You lead the league in takeaways — that’s gotta count for something,” he said.
Byard comforted Wright by saying he believed Wright would be named first-team all-pro.
“I talked to him about it, like ‘I’ve been in your position. I’ve had years where I thought I should have got in and other guys got in,’” Byard said. “I’m not necessarily saying those guys didn’t have good years, but he has a first-team all-pro that’s on the way, and in my opinion, that’s honestly more important to me, or important to him, for sure.”
Odunze has missed the past three games with a foot problem.
