Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has had a career season in his first year in Chicago, where he’s part of one of the NFL’s best QB-WR duos with teammate Justin Fields.
Moore has career-bests in receptions (92), receiving yards (1,300) and touchdowns (8) through Week 17 — and he was without Fields for four games.
But Moore wasn’t among the wide receivers on the NFC Pro Bowl roster, and there’s little doubt he’s one of the biggest snubs this year.
A.J. Brown, Mike Evans, CeeDee Lamb and rookie Puca Nakua were selected over Moore. While it’s hard to argue against Brown and Lamb, Moore had a strong case to make it over the likes of Evans and Nakua.
Moore took to Twitter (X) to share his reaction to being snubbed — and it’s clear he’s using it as further motivation to be even better.

The good news is the Bears did have two players selected to the Pro Bowl in defensive end Montez Sweat and cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who made their first Pro Bowl.
It’s just more fuel to the fire for Moore, who will be looking to have an even bigger year in 2024 and finally earn his first Pro Bowl nod.
