Jordan Davis admits to Pro Bowl disappointment, but there’s a catch
While it is The Philadelphia Eagles were able to contribute five players to the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl.including two sophomore cornerbacks in Cooper DeJean and Quinion MitchellZack Baun, Jalen Carter and lone offensive lineman Cam Jurgens, many in the organization believe there is one glaring omission from the roster: Jordan Davis.
In the midst of a star-making season at nose tackle, Davis shined with and without Carter by his side, but it obviously wasn’t enough to outshine a field that also featured Leonard Williams and Queenen Williams — who played most of the season in the AFC.
Speaking to reporters after learning the news, Davis admitted he was disappointed with the voting results, but that he plans to use his energy to help his team win, instead of being “selfish.”
“Everybody hopes to be a professional bowler. I mean selfishly, as athletes, we want to do things like that. But at the end of the day, I just feel that way because I’m selfish. And when I looked at it, and took a step back, I was like, hmm. That’s very selfish of me. Let me get my trophy back, let me do it on my team,” said Olivia Reiner of the Philly Inquirer.
“And selfishly, you want to get all the accolades, you want to be the best, you want to be considered one of the best guys in the league. But at the end of the day, when you take a step back and play unselfishly, I’m satisfied. I’m more than satisfied, because I know how to pass and pass and carry and be dominant and I can contribute to that.
Does Davis have reason to be disappointed? Sure, especially considering Williams spent most of the season with the New York Jets before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys and making his Week 11 debut. Either way, thanks to DT’s fourth year, he’s taking it in stride, knowing that while he can’t change the number of votes, he can affect the continuation of games, which could lead to more games later in the season.
