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.
Congrats to @Ky1eLong on making the Pro Bowl this year #BearDown

It's funny how a NT with 6 sacks (that gets double-teamed every other play) don't make it to Pro Bowl. Not even Alternates.

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.
