JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson feels pretty bad for San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

Garoppolo is the one who is probably going to pay for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue not making the Pro Bowl.

Ngakoue has 11 sacks -- four behind NFL leader Chandler Jones -- and leads the NFL with six forced fumbles, but he was not one of the three defensive ends named to the AFC team. He wasn't particularly happy about that, which is why Gipson said Sunday could be a bad day for Garoppolo.

"He [Ngakoue] will get three sacks Sunday, we'll forget about it, and he'll be laughing and smiling, but right now stay away from 9-1," Gipson said. "And good luck to 10 [Garoppolo] when we see him Sunday because he's out to prove something for sure."

Ngakoue has said before that he uses the fact that he was a third-round pick as motivation. He believes he was the best pass-rusher in the draft, and he was angry when he heard other names called before his.

He feels the same way about not making the Pro Bowl.

"They're still not giving me recognition," Ngakoue said. "That's all the fuel I need.

"I kind of was laughing a little bit [when the selections were announced]. I was more so amused because I know I'm used to it. I was a third-round pick. I was underrated. Even when I made plays, people still were saying things and not giving me my credit, so I wasn't even surprised. I just got to go take what I deserve. I've got to go take it."

Ngakoue is a third alternate, which means he finished sixth in total voting in the AFC. Teammate Calais Campbell (14.5 sacks, three forced fumbles), Los Angeles' Joey Bosa (11.5 sacks, four forced fumbles) and Oakland's Khalil Mack (10.5 sacks, one forced fumble) were the top three defensive ends and made the roster.

In addition to Campbell, defensive tackle Malik Jackson and cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye made the Pro Bowl, giving the Jaguars four defensive players in the Pro Bowl for the first time since 1999.

"There's plenty of votes to be spread around," Jackson said. "It's name recognition, I get that. It sucks [for Ngakoue], though."

The Jaguars' offense, despite leading the NFL in rushing, did not have anyone make the Pro Bowl. Fullback Tommy Bohanon is a second alternate.

Five other players were named as alternates: Running back Leonard Fournette (first alternate), linebacker Telvin Smith (second), linebacker Paul Posluszny (second), returner Jaydon Mickens (third) and Gipson (fifth).
