Rookie Gurley, Davis First-time NFL Pro Bowlers
This is Martin’s second career Pro Bowl selection, after being chosen as a rookie in 2012. His 1,315 receiving yards is also 4th in the NFL and his 10 TD’s ties him for 7th in the league. If the Panthers reach the big game, the 10 players won’t take part in the Pro Bowl.

Rivera didn’t say if he had received a league memo, which also stated, “While we realize that teams and individual players may have items they use for motivation or to symbolize a theme that the team has used this season, we ask that you instruct your club personnel and players to leave those items in the locker room. I guess the fans and some (players) didn’t see it the same way we did”. “I’d like to thank Coach Campbell, Coach Benton and Coach Bicknell, as well as all of the fans who supported me”.
After four years of coming close, Muhammad Wilkerson has finally made the Pro Bowl.
For some, it’s easier to identify the player who shouldn’t have made it. Dolphins safety Reshad Jones definitely should have gotten a spot before Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, who held out for the first two games of the postseason and then cruised to Honolulu on reputation.
Newton earned his third Pro Bowl selection in a season in which he has established career highs in passing touchdowns (33 – 2 in the NFL) and passer rating (98.9 – 6 in the NFL).
That means that if the ten Panthers go to the Pro Bowl, they may well have to face each other on opposite teams.
The Patriots had seven players selected, including quarterback Tom Brady for the seventh straight year and a franchise-record 11th time overall. He intercepted Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson in the Patriots end zone with 26 seconds remaining to preserve a 28-24 victory in Super Bowl XLIX. Among the other Patriots honored were tight end Rob Gronkowski and cornerback Malcolm Butler, whose last-minute interception clinched New England’s Super Bowl win over Seattle.

Snub-wise, numerous players could make a case for inclusion – but were not – such as Miami safety Reshad Jones, Minnesota linebacker Anthony Barr, Bengals punt returner Adam Jones, Green Bay defensive lineman Mike Daniels, Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph, Dallas linebacker Sean Lee, Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson, Minnesota defensive back Harrison Smith and Buffalo corner Ronald Darby.
Despite having a great season, Cowboys linebacker, Sean Lee did not get selected.

Twenty-five players selected were first-timers, including three rookies: the Rams’ Todd Gurley, Lockett and the Chiefs’ Marcus Peters. There will be a “draft” on January 27, which will be televised on ESPN at 8 p.m. with Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin picking teams.
