NFL Pro Bowl: Top vote-getters by position
By Mike Dyce
The players voted into the 2014 Pro Bowl will be revealed on NFL Network tonight at 9:00 PM ET. This is the first time that the NFL Pro Bowl will be “unconferenced.” That means the old format of a certain number of players from each conference getting a trip to the Pro Bowl is gone. For example, if the six highest voted quarterbacks were from the AFC, that means no NFC quarterback would be in the Pro Bowl.
Voting was open to fans, coaches and players and NFL fans cast 80,272,816 votes. Each group of voters represent a third of the equation in making Pro Bowl selections. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 26, 2014 and televised live on NBC at 7:00 PM ET from Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
