NFL Pro Bowl Snub No. 3: De’Vondre Campbell, LB, Green Bay Packers

For some reason, veteran linebacker De’Vondre Campbel never seems to get the respect he deserves. A fourth-round pick from Minnesota in 2016, Campbell spent the first four seasons of his career with the Atlanta Falcons. During his time with Atlanta, he had 363 tackles, 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, and a pick — never recording fewer than 92 tackles after his rookie season.

Even with his solid numbers, he didn’t get much interest in free agency and signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Once there, he continued to play well and had 99 tackles, two sacks, and three pass defenses. However, he again didn’t get a lot of love in free agency.

As was the case in 2020, Campbell netted just a one-year deal as the Green Bay Packers gave him just over $1.1 million this season according to OverTheCap.com. Also similar to 2020, Campbell has been balling out.

So far in 14 games, he has 125 tackles which is four shy of his personal best. He also has two sacks, two picks, four pass defenses, and two forced fumbles. Simply put, Campbell has been all over the field for Green Bay and is easily one of the top snubs this season for the Pro Bowl.
