Former Tiger Malcolm Butler Selected to Pro Bowl

After four years of coming close, Muhammad Wilkerson has finally made the Pro Bowl. Peters was one of five Chiefs honored, including linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston and safety Eric Berry, who was diagnosed with lymphoma and had to step away from the game late in the 2014 season.

Peterson finished second at his position in the fan voting behind Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. For comparison, the Seahawks (9-5) boast seven players, the Chiefs (9-5) boast five players and the Cowboys (4-10) boast four players.

The ten Panthers are the most from any one team and it shows how energized the Panthers fan base is right now with the team enjoying 14-0 status.

Linebacker NaVorro Bowman and left tackle Joe Staley are headed back to Honolulu as the 49ers’ Pro Bowl representatives. Still, Watt commands a double team on every play, and the ones where he’s been singled up haven’t worked out too well for the opposing quarterback.

The debate is moot as I’d imagine 2 of those quarterbacks will be in the Super Bowl, meaning Dalton and one other would be named alternates.

The undefeated Carolina Panthers led the National Football League with 10 players selected for the Pro Bowl. This is the fifth Pro Bowl selection for Thomas, the fourth for Wilson and Chancellor, third for Sherman, second for Wagner, and first for Bennett and Lockett.

These are the first career Pro Bowl selections for Stewart, Turner, Davis, Norman and Short.

“I think everybody that got selected, I’m proud of the guys on this team and in this locker room and what we’ve been able to build here”.

“I’m not at the level of where I want to be at yet, but I’m at a level where I definitely still can make plays”, Bowman said.

The Patriots’ picks included tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive end Chandler Jones, linebacker Jamie Collins, cornerback Malcolm Butler, special teams player Matthew Slater and kicker Stephen Gostkowski.

The Pro Bowl is played the weekend before the Super Bowl.

Teams will be drafted by captains Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice on January 27.

This will be Eifert’s first Pro Bowl appearance, after breaking the franchise record for touchdowns by a tight end in a seasons, with 12 (previously nine) already in 2015.

“Sure, it’€™s great for the players who are recognized, certainly felt like all the players that were recognized were deserving, all had good years”, Belichick said.
