The Los Angeles Rams were featured four times in the 2025-26 Pro Bowl roster reveal, with two players on both sides of the ball.

While those four have been named, two ESPN NFL analyst believes the Rams have two players on the roster who can be called snubbed.


Analyst Calls Rams Defensive Interior Snubbed

ESPN’s Seth Walder calls Los Angeles Rams third-year defensive lineman Kobie Turner a snub from the Pro Bowl and calls him a player who “should absolutely be in” the Pro Bowl.

“Turner leads NFC interior defenders with 34 total pass rush wins and ranks third in [the] NFL behind Pro Bowlers [Kansas City Chiefs‘] Chris Jones and [Tennessee Titans’] Jeffery Simmons. Turner also has 7.0 sacks and a run stop win rate that is a hair above average. That’s a far superior résumé to that of [Jalen] Carter, who played in only 10 games, has 2.0 sacks and a worse pass rush win rate than Turner,” Walder wrote.

The analyst believes Turner should replace Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter in the Pro Bowl.

In his three years in the NFL, the defensive lineman has logged 24 sacks, 161 tackles and broken up 9 passes, alongside 50 pressures. Turner also has had good performances in the playoffs. In three games, he has registered 3.5 sacks and 11 tackles.

Turner is graded the best sixth-best defensive interior in the NFL by Pro Football Focus with a grade of 78.7 out of 128 qualifying players.

It would have been the defender’s Pro Bowl selection if he had been selected. EDGE rushers Jared Verse and Byron Young were both named to the Pro Bowl.


Offensive Lineman Snubbed

Matthew Stafford has been playing like an MVP this season and Puka Nacua has been playing like a frontrunner for the Offensive Player of the Year award. Both have been named to the Pro Bowl, but none of the team’s offensive linemen has been named to the game.

Kevin Dotson has been one of the better (and healthy) members of the Rams’ offensive line this season. PFF has graded the Rams’ O-lineman as one of the best run block grades and best overall guards in the league.

ESPN’s Ben Solak believes Dotson could “probably be in” the Pro Bowl and would swap Chicago Bears guard Joe Thuney with him.

“There are four really good guards in the NFC this season but only three spots to go around. Dotson is the primary force behind the Rams’ historically consistent running game, as Los Angeles’ best runs are often wrenched open by Dotson’s strength at the first level and his ability to bring that power behind his explosiveness into the second level,” Solak wrote.

“It’s hard to knock either [Atlanta Falcons‘] Chris Lindstrom or Thuney out of Pro Bowl consideration, but it would be defensible in order to get Dotson in.”

Barring any injuries or if any players decide to pull out of the Pro Bowl, these two members of the Rams could get it, if LA doesn’t make it to the Super Bowl.
