The 2015 NFL season is halfway over, which means we are that much closer to the excitement that is the 2016 Pro Bowl. Try and contain your enthusiasm if you can. And of course, vote as often as you want.
The NFL released the latest round of Pro Bowl voting results, including the top ten vote-getters, and the top vote-getting at each position. Since the NFL has done away with conference vs. conference, we don't see top position by conference. I have posted the full results down below.
It is no surprise that the 49ers have nobody represented in the voting. Voting totals by position will be posted by various media at some point in the voting process, but will we see any 49ers with a chance at a spot? Joe Staley could get the veteran courtesy nod, but I can't think of anybody else on offense that is worthy of a Pro Bowl spot. On defense, I could definitely see NaVorro Bowman getting a spot on the team. Aaron Lynch leads the team with six sacks, and is second in the NFL in quarterback pressures. I doubt he gets the fan vote, but the coach and player vote could be enough for him.
Anybody else even close to worthy this year?
