Some of the notables for the 2011 Pro Bowl Rosters are:
The Indianapolis Colts have both of their defensive ends, Dwight Freeney & Robert Mathis starting for the AFC. The Atlanta Falcons had the most Pro Bowl selections with 7 players heading to Hawaii for the NFC team. The New England Patriots have 6 players joining the AFC squad. Four other teams had 5 selections each. The Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will not be sending any players to the Pro Bowl, unless alternates are chosen.
While most of the selections for the Pro Bowl seems to be pretty justified, there were several players that don’t deserve to make it based on this year’s performances. Shaun O’Hara of the NY Giants was selected as a reserve, even though he has only played in 4 games this season.
The teams that make it to the Super Bowl will not be having their players participate in the Pro Bowl, since there is a risk of injury involved. This means that up to 13 of the selected players may not actually participate, and alternates will take their place on the Roster.
