Manning leads NFL-high 9 Broncos into Pro Bowl
Print Edition
PEYTON Manning was named to his NFL-best 14th Pro Bowl to lead a league-best nine Denver Broncos players into the annual all-star game, the National Football League announced Tuesday.
The superstar quarterback, who won a Super Bowl title with Indianapolis, lost in last February’s title game against the Seattle Seahawks but hopes to lift the Broncos back to the championship spectacle in next month’s NFL playoffs.
Two of Manning’s favorite targets, receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas, also were named to the preliminary Pro Bowl lineup.
Hall of Fame receivers Cris Carter and Michael Irvin will serve as alumni captains for the January 25 matchup in suburban Phoenix at the same stadium where the Super Bowl will be staged a week later.
Players will be divided into teams in a draft format by the captains as was done for the first time last year in place of the old format between players from American Conference clubs playing those from the National Conference.
Jacksonville, Minnesota, Tennessee and the New York Giants did not have a player named but could have talent added to rosters as injuries and playoff success force other players to drop out. Players from Super Bowl squads do not take part in the Pro Bowl.
New England quarterback Tom Brady was named to his 10th Pro Bowl and was among five Patriots selected. Other quarterbacks chosen include Tony Romo of Dallas, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck of Indianapolis and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger.
Romo’s Cowboys had six players named to the Pro Bowl talent pool, second only to Denver.
The game, traditionally played in Hawaii, will be played at a site beyond Aloha Stadium for only the second time since 1980, and the first since 2010. It will return to Honolulu in 2016.
