Stephen Paea displeased with Pro Bowl snub

SHARE Stephen Paea displeased with Pro Bowl snub

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Stephen Paea is less than pleased that he’s not headed to the Pro Bowl.

The fourth-year nose tackle started all 15 games for the Bears this season, racking up 30 tackles, six sacks and two forced fumbles.

On Tuesday he congratulated offensive lineman Kyle Long — the only Bears’ selection to the Pro Bowl — and then questioned how he was left off.

Six interior linemen made the Pro Bowl: Marcell Dareus, Bills; Aaron Donald, Rams; Gerald McCoy, Buccaneers; Dontari Poe, Chiefs; Ndamukong Suh, Lions; Kyle Williams, Bills.

Paea, whose stats are comparable to Poe and Williams, was the odd man out.

The Pro Bowl will be played Jan. 25 in Glendale, Ariz.
