Peyton Manning hopes he doesn’t play in the Pro Bowl. But NFL fans would like to see him there. At least the fans who care about the Pro Bowl would.
Manning is the leader in fan voting for the Pro Bowl, the NFL announced today. Manning is followed byAndrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, DeMarco Murray,Tom Brady, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Philip Rivers, Arian Foster and Matt Forte. With no linemen or defensive players among the top vote getters, it appears that a lot of fans are voting only for skill position players and then leaving the rest of their ballots blank.
Leading vote getters at the other positions are Packers fullback John Kuhn, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith, Cowboys guard Zack Martin, Cowboys center Travis Frederick, Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, Falcons return specialist Devin Hester, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, Bills defensive tackleMarcell Dareus, Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller, Panthers inside linebacker Luke Keuchly, Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller, Seahawks strong safety Antrel Rolle, Browns free safety Tashaun Gipson, Washington punter Tress Way and Patriots special teamer Matt Slater.
For the second straight year, the Pro Bowl rosters are not divided between the AFC and the NFC. Instead, the 88 Pro Bowlers will be chosen by a vote of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting for one-third of the total. Those Pro Bowlers will then be divided onto two teams via a draft the week before the Pro Bowl.
The Pro Bowl takes place on Sunday, January 25, a week before the Super Bowl. Players whose teams are in the Super Bowl will not play.
