It's an NFL tradition for writers, pundits, and fans to debate over the results of Pro Bowl voting. There was plenty of great defensive talent in the NFC this year, but it seems most pundits agree there was one glaring vacancy on the team.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith should've made it.

During Green Bay's NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Smith decided to take a shot at those who opted against giving him the Pro Bowl honors. After sacking quarterback Russell Wilson in the first quarter, Smith pulled out a shirt from under his jersey which read, quite simply, "Snubbed."

Some will call it arrogance. Others, like ourselves, will call it smart.

When looking at advanced statistics this season, Smith was double-teamed the most out of any edge rusher in the league. Yet he still ranked in the top tier of pass rushing success rate. That's pure dominance.

In 16 games this season, Smith recorded 55 total tackles and 13.5 sacks, with the latter being the sixth-most in the entire league.

While the Pro Bowl is the least-exciting football game of the season, it does carry an incentive for most players. And by incentive, we mean extra cash in their bank accounts.

So excuse Za'Darius Smith for being a bit miffed about getting snubbed, even if he'd rather be in the Super Bowl.
