"There’s six Vikings Tom," a fan said.
"Never mind the six #Vikings," another fan wrote.
Meanwhile, another fan was disappointed with having fewer players from the Pittsburgh Steelers, calling out the roster, saying that Steelers George Pickens, Alex Highsmith, and Deshon Elliott were "massive snubs."
"Steelers snubbed the hardest it seems. Between Pickens, Elliott, Frazier, Porter, Highsmith, and Queen… feels like most of these guys have better arguments than people that made it above them. Particularly Pickens, Elliott, and Highsmith feel like massive snubs," the fan jotted.
One fan called the roster "wild:"
"Some of these are wild. Fred Warner starting over Zack Baun. No AJ Brown (who'll at worst be second team All Pro). Zay Flowers over Brian Thomas (who's lost a chance to get a Pro Bowl for his fifth year salary calculation).
Another fan mentioned the Eagles' performance and their players on the roster.
"The national media said the @Eagles had a super team, and @JalenHurts is carried by his team. Yet, they have 6 probowl players, 3 first time players. The Eagles are the first team to lead the league in rushing and Def since the 92 Cowboys, and it never gets mentioned...lol" a fan said.
One fan was even surprised that the Ravens had nine on the Pro Bowl roster:
"NINE ravens. With THAT defense," a fan wrote.
Meanwhile, some were disappointed for not having Kerby Joseph on the roster.
"No Kerby a joke," a fan said.
"HOW did Kerby not make it?" a fan questioned.
