I didn’t realize it’s been that long.Since 2009 The Lions have always had s a player in the pro bowl game. Until this dismal season at 3-10-1 .
Just one Lions player finished in the top 10 in fan voting by position, and that player – return man Jamal Agnew – is unlikely to be chosen for the game when final votes are tallied this week.
Pro Bowl selections are made through a combination of fan, player and coach voting, and the teams will be announced at 8 p.m. Tuesday on NFL Network.
The Lions have had at least one representative picked for the game each of the last nine seasons. Cornerback Darius Slay and long snapper Don Muhlbach represented the Lions in the game last year.
