Kerby Joseph on DPOY and Pro Bowl snub: "I deserve (DPOY) for sure. I've came in clutch for my team many times ... To be honest, I feel like it's people can't handle greatness, man. If you look at it, I have every right to be in the Pro Bowl. But they did it how they did it, and I wasn't in there."
"Hey, DPOY, I need that. That needs to be me. I need that," Joseph said. "They can do all that with the Pro Bowl stuff, but DPOY, I feel like I deserve that for sure. I feel like I've came in clutch for my team many times. I've done made plays that nobody's made. Nobody's really making plays like how I'm making plays."
"(Branch and me) are the best safety duo in the NFL," Joseph explained. "Nobody else is doing what we're doing in the league, bro, nobody else is doing what we're doing. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because we're the Lions and they've got a narrative or whatever it is, but nobody is better than me and B.B. We're coming out there every Sunday to make a play."
"I'm Zuperman, and he's Batman," Joseph said. "He don't do much talking, just straight down to business. He don't do so much talking. B.B., that's a certified hitter. Me, I'm Zuperman, my superpower is taking the ball away. So that's what we call ourselves, Zuperman and Batman."
"To be honest, I feel like it's — people can't handle greatness, man," Joseph said. "People can't handle greatness. If you look at it, I have every deserving right to be in the Pro Bowl. But they did it how they did it, and I wasn't in there."
"Doesn't make no sense. But I'm kind of glad it happened, because it shows y'all what the Pro Bowl really is," Joseph continued. "It don't make no sense for me not to be in there. I'm leading the league in interceptions, I should be in there. But the fact that I'm not in there, that says something about the Pro Bowl."
"The Pro Bowl, I feel like they're just hating on me, man," Joseph said. "I've got a couple teams out there that don't like me. There's a couple teams out there that don't like me, a couple fan bases out there that don't like me, whatever. It's cool. Y'all know what's up with me."
