The Jets were shut out of the 2021 NFL Pro Bowl.
New York didn’t have a single player selected to this year’s all-star exhibition. The last time the Jets didn’t have a player voted to the Pro Bowl was in 2017, when the New York finished 5-11 under head coach Todd Bowles.
The Jets are one of five teams with zero Pro Bowl nods. The Jaguars, Bengals, Cowboys and Panthers are the other four.
Jets rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton led all AFC offensive tackles in fan voting but was not selected for the Pro Bowl. The fan vote counts for one-third of the selection.
Becton laughed when he found out he didn’t make it.

Quinnen Williams was another Jet with a strong case.
The Jets did have three former players selected to the Pro Bowl, though. Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, Seahawks fullback Nick Bellore and Bills returner Andre Roberts all made it. This will be Adams and Roberts’ third Pro Bowl and Bellore’s first.
The NFL Pro Bowl game will not take place this season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It was supposed to be held in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Instead, the NFL will hold a virtual event on Jan. 31.
