Seven Patriots players named to Pro Bowl

So far this season, he has a New England Patriots leading 12 tackles on special teams. Seven months later, he was cleared to return to football, and a month after that he played in the Chiefs’ first preseason game. Gostkowski has broken Vinatieri’s team record for career scoring.

Brown has 116 receptions for 1,586 yards and nine touchdowns. His 1,315 receiving yards is also 4th in the NFL and his 10 TD’s ties him for 7th in the league. His appeal was expected to be heard Wednesday.

Former Nittany Lion players NaVorro Bowman and Tamba Hali selected to NFL Pro Bowl. However, the number of Pro Bowl nods a player has to his name can be used in determining whether or not he’s an impactful player.

Mike Pouncey made his third consecutive Pro Bowl on Thursday but safety Reshad Jones was a major snub.

“It’s truly an honor to be selected to the Pro Bowl”, Davis, a first-timer, said.

“I’m extremely excited and I couldn’t be more thankful to the fans who took their time to vote me in, as well as my fellow players and coaches”. Players were selected without regard to conference in voting by fans, coaches and players and will later be assigned to teams via the Pro Bowl Draft.

“I think we know who Jarryd is”, offensive coordinator Geep Chryst said.

The Carolina contingent consists of quarterback Cam Newton, running back Jonathan Stewart, fullback Mike Tolbert, tight end Greg Olsen, guard Trai Turner, center Ryan Kalil, defensive tackle Kawann Short, cornerback Josh Norman and linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis.

Inside linebacker Derrick Johnson is the top candidate in Kansas City for that conversation. He intercepted Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson in the Patriots end zone with 26 seconds remaining to preserve a 28-24 victory in Super Bowl XLIX.

Of the Bengals, tight end Tyler Eifert, defensive tackle Geno Atkins, wide receiver A.J. Green, safety Reggie Nelson and offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth. “So much of our success on offense is directly related to Doug’s achievements this season”.

“They’re both big, they both can run”, Butler said.

Twenty-five players selected were first-timers, including three rookies: the Rams’ Todd Gurley, Lockett and the Chiefs’ Marcus Peters, a cornerback drafted in the first round who went to Washington after Oakland’s McClymonds High. He played only one game last season after being banned by the National Football League due to a child abuse charge.

The Pro Bowl will be played in Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium on Sunday, January 31, with the two teams hosted by Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.
