The Denver Broncos had an NFL-high six players named to the Associated Press All-Pro team on Saturday.
Notably absent among those players was outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, who ended up just one point shy of second-team honors. Bonitto seemingly responded to the news of his snub by retweeting some of his season-long stats.
First, the 26-year-old pass rusher tweeted "
" on a tweet that he led all playoff edge defenders with a 20.2% pressure rating during the regular season, according to NFL NextGen Stats. He also used the same emoji reaction in response to a tweet that said his 43 quick pressures ranked second in the NFL.
Bonitto went without a sack from Weeks 15-17, finishing the year with 14 sacks, which ranked fifth in the league. The four pass rushers who totaled more sacks -- Myles Garrett (23.0), Brian Burns (16.5), Danielle Hunter (15.0) and Aidan Hutchinson (14.5) -- all totaled more sacks than Bonitto.
Hutchinson (55 points) beat Bonitto (54 points) for a second-team All-Pro nod. In addition to his extra half sack, Hutchinson also topped Bonitto in quarterback hits (35 to 28), forced fumbles (4 to 2) and interceptions (1 to 0). Bonitto was elected to this year's Pro Bowl.
