Four Patriots selected to the Pro Bowl
Although he earned the fifth-most votes for any AFC safety, the 22-year-old tweeted his malcontent with finishing just outside the Pro Bow roster boundaries. He has already doubled his career-high in touchdowns this season. The line has also helped pave the way for the offense to rush for at least 100 yards in eight contests this season. The seven-year pro is now third in the league in receiving yards (1,215) and has also hauled in three touchdowns, which moved him to fourth on the franchise’s all-time receiving touchdown list. He’s joined by fellow special teamers Zuerlein and Cooper – their first selections each. Last week, Hunt sent the club record for rushing yards for a rookie.
Ramsey was the Jaguars’ first-round draft pick in 2016 (fifth overall).
The Pittsburgh Steelers lead the National Football League in one category this season: most Pro Bowl players.
Atkins was voted in as a starter.
When you win three games, the odds of you getting a lot of players on your respective league’s All-Star teams are slim.
Last January, Howard and Josh Sitton were welcomed in as Pro Bowl replacements.
It will be the first pro bowl selection for the other four players.
Todd Gurley will start for the NFC at running back in front of Ingram and Kamara, and the Rams will also see both of their specialists – kicker Greg Zuerlein and punter Johnny Hekker – represent the NFC.
Other notable selections were Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, who matched Brees with his 11th Pro Bowl berth, and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and Baltimore Ravens Terrell Suggs, who each earned their seventh honor.
