The 4 teams that have not had a single pro bowler since then are the Jets, Texans, Falcons and Bucs. Of the 28 teams with pro bowlers, 19 of them have 2 or more. That's 59.3 percent of the league, with 2 or more pro bowlers since 2003.
Colts, Dolphins, Seahawks and Ravens lead with 4 pro bowlers in that time.
Patriots, Packers, Cowboys, Bears and Panthers have 3 each.
Browns, Giants, Chargers, Cardinals, 49ers, Eagles, Broncos, Titans, Saints and Chiefs all have 2.
There are 9 teams with 1 pro bowler in that time; Bills, Lions, Steelers, Rams, Redskins, Vikings, Raiders, Jaguars and Bengals. Of those 9 teams, the Bengals are 1 of 3 that don't have a position player (punter or kicker; Bengal is Huber).
That means out of 32 teams, the Bengals are 1 out of 7 teams that don't have a position player to make a pro bowl in drafts since 2003. Otherwise stated as, the Bengals have not done something that 78.1 percent of the league has done in that time.
Also otherwise stated, it means they are in the 21.9 percent of the league that hasn't had a single position player selected to the pro bowl that has been drafted in the 5 round or later.
But at least i have NOTHING to prove that the Bengals are worse than other teams in the later rounds.
Burfict was not selected in the first four rounds of the draft.
