OVERRATED. Pro Bowl appearances are not a great measure of a players effectiveness. Mike Alstott couldn't hold a candle to John Riggins. The Diesel was the state champion sprinter once upon a time. Alstott NEVER had the speed that Riggins could flash after battering opposing defenders all game. I won't bore you with stats but if you compare Alstott's to Riggins's, he wasn't even in the same league.
