referencing pro bowls is STUPID. DJ Reader is an elite nose tackle. And that's not even up for debate
Pro bowl isn't everything in that statement though. Don't ignore everything for just one part of it that you don't like. Reader is getting "older" for the position he plays and he's had injury issues. Lawrence is a more well rounded player. There's an argument that Reader is close to the best if not the best run stoppers in the league. He's not as great at pass rushing as Lawrence, who can also stop the run. Reader is one of my favorite players and one of our biggest factors on defense IMO, but there's things going against him getting what Lawrence did.
