Panthers have NFL-best 10 players selected for Pro Bowl

Voting by the fans, players and coaches each make up one third of the Pro Bowl’s selection process.

Casey, who turned down a chance to go to the Pro Bowl in back-to-back years as an alternate, said last week he’d go an alternate this year.

“What we’ve put out there this year, the way we’ve played, we feel like we have a chance to put a lot of guys out there”, Dalton said. “I’d like to thank Coach Campbell, Coach Benton and Coach Bicknell, as well as all of the fans who supported me”.

Peterson now ranks first in the NFL in rushing with 1,314 yards and is tied for 3rd in the league with 9 rushing scores.

The NFL’s Pro Bowl rosters were revealed Tuesday evening, and seven Seahawks were named to the squad. It’s the most Bengals selected since the 2005 season.

The franchise record for players selected is nine, from the 1988 season, and the second-most has been six (1976 and 1989).

Tight ends: Tyler Eifert, Bengals; Rob Gronkowski, Patriots; Travis Kelce, Chiefs; Greg Olsen, Panthers.

The anchor of Carolina’s offensive line has been rock-solid. In games Roethlisberger has played this season Brown is averaging 135 yards per game.

A safety, Mathieu was named to the team for the first time. This is Smith’s third consecutive Pro Bowl. The trio has missed the last three Vikings games.

Jones is also the NFL’s only safety with two interceptions returned for a touchdown. In Week 12 vs. Dallas (11/26/15), Kuechly became the first player since the Houston Oilers Marcus Robertson in 1997 to record interceptions on consecutive plays from scrimmage. He has a team-high 13 special teams tackles and has forced two special teams fumbles, despite playing more defense than in the past.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis waited 11 seasons to earn a spot in the Pro Bowl. Players will be assigned to teams during the 2016 Pro Bowl Draft.

His 98 tackles easily lead National Football League safeties – Arizona’s Deone Bucannon is second with 82.

Stewart and Turner, the second-year guard from LSU, are among five Panthers who were selected for the first time.

With the game set for Sunday, Jan. 31 (7 p.m.-ESPN) at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Dalton’s status is also going to be determined by injury. Coaches and players also cast votes that gave them each one-third of the final say.

The only Bengals defensive player to get more Pro Bowl nods was cornerback Lemar Parrish.

When Frederick was chosen in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, people mocked the Dallas Cowboys for reaching. Casey, a five-year pro, is regarded as one of the most underrated defensive linemen in the game.
