Josh Sweat 'Frustrated' by Pro Bowl Alternate Snub Despite Double-Digit Sacks

Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat voiced significant frustration Wednesday after being named a Pro Bowl alternate, feeling he deserved a direct selection. He is the only NFC player with double-digit sacks (11, tying his career high) and four forced fumbles not to receive a Pro Bowl invite. Sweat, who signed with the Cardinals this offseason, was second in fan voting for NFC outside linebackers, stating his play and fan support should have secured his spot, but believes "popularity within the league" prevented it.
