Former Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Kevin Zeitler is finally headed to the Pro Bowl.
Given the strong career Zeitler has enjoyed since serving as a five-year starter for the Bengals and going on to have successful stints elsewhere, one might be surprised to find out he’s never made a Pro Bowl.
But that changes now, with Zeitler finally getting a nod via being named a replacement.
Zeitler has been a sour point for Bengals fans for years now, with the team’s refusal to consider signing him beyond his rookie contract (along with not bringing back Andrew Whitworth) the onset of offensive line problems that continue to this day.
Either way, Zeitler is through to the Pro Bowl now, with the Bengals currently having no other replacements named to join Ja’Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson.
Kevin Zeitler has been named to the Pro Bowl! He is replacing Joe Thuney in the Pro Bowl Games.
