Three Broncos defenders selected to 2017 Pro Bowl
That’s how the team ended up getting one representative, offensive tackle Kyle Long, into the 2016 game.
Five teams have more Pro Bowl picks than the Chiefs. He has started at tight end in all 14 games this season, tallying 73 catches for 957 yards (13.1 avg.) with three touchdowns.
This is Miller’s third selection. Alexander’s level of play, versatility on special teams and overall effort rewarded him with his first Pro Bowl selection.
McCoy was named to the Pro Bowl last season, his first with the Bills, but it was a somewhat dubious honor as he missed four games with injuries and rushed for only 895 yards.
In the face of a late-season slide, fans are quick to forget the Minnesota Vikings’ success at the beginning of the year.
This season, he has joined a list of just five players in league history to surpass the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his first three season, also Odell Beckham Jr., A.J. Green, John Jefferson and Randy Moss.
I say initial roster because this first roster will not be the final roster. His eight sacks on the year rank seventh among all defensive ends and he continues to be a force against the run.
Guard Marshal Yanda, kicker Justin Tucker, linebacker C.J. Mosley and fullback Kyle Juszczyk will play for the AFC against the NFC when the NFL’s annual all-star game is played on January 29 in Orlando.
The Ravens will be well represented at this season’s Pro Bowl.
However, he shouldn’t be named to the Pro Bowl purely out of habit.
Nevertheless, his snub means the 2017 Pro Bowl won’t be attended by the NFL’s leader his completions, passing yards and touchdowns.
Justin Tucker should continue to be a mainstay in the National Football League for years to come, and could represent Texas in the Pro Bowl again, especially if he keeps kicking this way.
So, which path did Meriweather choose when he was selected to the game, which is notorious for featuring virtually no defense, for the 2009 and 2010 seasons?
