The 2015 Pro Bowl rosters have been revealed, and it comes as no surprise that the best teams feature the most representatives. What is surprising is that some of the most exciting players in the league will not be present at the game. At least, not right now. It remains to be seen which selected players will be unable or unwilling to attend the game.

According to ESPN, the Denver Broncos lead the way after having nine players selected. The Dallas Cowboys come in second, with six selections. Several teams have five representatives, including the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
T.Y Hilton of the Colts, Jordy Nelson of the Packers, Darren Sproles of the Eagles, and Le'Veon Bell of the Steelers were among the notable players that earned their first Pro Bowl selections this season.
Zack Martin of the Cowboys, Aaron Donald of the Rams, and C.J. Mosley of the Ravens were the three rookies that were selected to the game.

Still, no matter how many players get selected, the talk always finds its way to the players that were left out, and there is a pretty obvious omission this year: New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr.
The argument against him presumably centers on the fact that he only played 11 games, but he still has 11 touchdown catches and over 1,100 yards receiving on the year. He also has arguably the best catch of the season and is unquestionably one of the most exciting players in the game right now.
Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, Philip Rivers of the Chargers, and Eddie Lacy of the Packers were among the other notable omissions. All of the players had strong cases for inclusion, but they may have been victims of the fact that many other players from their teams were selected.
Beckham may have been the victim of the Giants' struggles this year. The team is just 6-9 heading into the final week, and they were one of just four teams to have no players selected to the Pro Bowl. The Vikings, Titans, and Jaguars were the other teams that had no players selected.
The 2015 NFL Pro Bowl takes place on Jan. 25 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona.
