Three former Georgia Bulldogs named to Pro Bowl

Those three, along with center Maurkice Pouncey and guard David DeCastro, are the Pittsburgh Steelers’ representative in this year’s Pro Bowl.

They were Von Miller, Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. Travis Frederick was selected to his third Pro Bowl. Slay hasn’t made a Pro Bowl and yet he still got paid because of his play. Scherff, in his second season, received his first Pro Bowl selection. I was more excited to see Xavier made it than myself.

Darius Slay wanted to go to the Pro Bowl previous year. Just two other cornerbacks (Patrick Peterson in Arizona and Richard Sherman in Seattle) have been selected to the game in four straight seasons. Considering for years Graham was measured against Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, who the Seahawks selected one pick after the Eagles took Graham in the first round of the 2010 draft.

Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett were all named to the NFL’s “All Star” showcase slated for January 29 in Orlando, Flor.

Patterson was one of four Vikings players elected to the Pro Bowl, his second selection after being named as a rookie in 2013.

In nearly every one of Minnesota’s games, Rhodes has made it a habit of shutting down the opposing teams’ top receivers. Beasley got 3.5 sacks against the Broncos in game 5 this season.

In 2016: One of the rare cornerbacks who works as both a slot cornerback and on the outside, Harris has broken up 11 passes while racking up 58 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble in his sixth season since joining the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2011. They have allowed the eighth fewest sacks (24) in the league and rank second in total rushing yards, rushing yards per game and rushing touchdowns.

“It’s definitely an honor to go the Pro Bowl but we have a big goal here”, It’s the Super Bowl, everyone wants to make the big game. His 104-yard kick return touchdown is the longest return in the National Football League this season and the fifth return touchdown of his career. In his 14 games he’s already thrown for 20 touchdowns against just 4 interception and has built a 103.2 passer rating while leading five fourth-quarter comebacks and five game-winning drives.
