For just the second time in his career — with the first being a rookie campaign in which he only started one game — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not voted to the Pro Bowl roster in 2024.

Mahomes has also been left out of the MVP conversation for most of the year, despite leading the Chiefs to a dominant 15-1 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Rival quarterbacks Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow made the AFC Pro Bowl roster in place of Mahomes.

Mahomes did not comment on the Pro Bowl snub, as he has bigger matters to focus on, but his trainer Bobby Stroupe did. At least, that was the public assumption after Stroupe dropped a one-word post on X.

“Good,” the well-known health, performance and player development consultant wrote, grabbing the attention of the KC community.

“I’ve been waiting for this reaction! Bye 31 other teams 👋,” one Chiefs fan commented.

Another said: “Motivation fuels the fire within 🔥.” While a third Kansas City supporter wrote that “rings are better” and a fourth simply shared a GIF of Mahomes.

Finally, one user replied: “The disrespect is unreal! But… at the same time I love it! No team wants to play a ‘pissed off’ Mahomes in the playoffs. 😁🔥”

For the record, Mahomes has had a down year by his standards statistically speaking, but he’s still ranked fourth in the AFC in total QBR entering Week 18. Unfortunately for those arguing that he was snubbed, the three QBs above him are Jackson, Burrow and Allen in that order.
