Los Angeles Chargers veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen has voiced his frustration following what he believes to be a glaring Pro Bowl snub of his teammates. Known for his outspoken nature, Allen didn’t hold back, calling out voters for what he described as a lack of recognition for standout performances by members of the Bolts roster.
“I don’t know what else they need to do,” Allen said when asked about the snub. “It’s ridiculous. Some of these guys are having career years and still get overlooked. The process has to change.”
While Allen didn’t name specific teammates, many fans and analysts believe he was referencing linebacker Khalil Mack and quarterback Justin Herbert. Mack has been a dominant force on the defensive side this season, ranking among the league leaders in sacks and tackles for loss. Herbert, despite battling through injuries and inconsistent team performances, has continued to post impressive numbers, ranking near the top in passing yards and touchdowns.
Allen himself has been a consistent performer for the Chargers this season, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. Despite his standout play, he is no stranger to being overlooked in fan-driven votes, which heavily weigh popularity over performance.
The Pro Bowl voting process has long been a topic of debate, with players and coaches frequently criticizing the system for favoring name recognition over merit. Allen’s comments reignite the conversation, especially for a Chargers team that boasts several players worthy of league-wide recognition.
With the Chargers still fighting for a playoff spot, Allen hopes the snub serves as motivation for his teammates to prove their worth on the field. “At the end of the day, Pro Bowl or not, we know what we’re capable of. Now it’s about showing everyone else.
