2018 NFL Pro Bowl rosters announced
By Jack Crosby
With the 2017 NFL season coming to a close soon, the 2018 Pro Bowl rosters were released on Tuesday night.
Tuesday night, live on the NFL Network, both the AFC and NFC rosters for the 2018 Pro Bowl were released. With the NFL regular season quickly coming to a close here in the month of December, it’s sadly time to start looking ahead to what will take place after the season.
As a team, the Pittsburgh Steelers led the way for everyone with eight selections to the Pro Bowl roster for the AFC. Of course, Antonio Brown was voted onto the team as a starter for the AFC as he has put on an MVP-worthy season to this point for Pittsburgh.
On the NFC side of things, of course what sticks out the most is the fact that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was voted on as the starter. As we all know, though, he won’t be participating in the game as he recovers from knee surgery. Still, receiving the starting quarterback nod for the Pro Bowl is another testament to just how well the second-year player out of North Dakota State is progressing in his NFL career.
You can view the full rosters for both the AFC and NFC below.
