Sean Taylor Makes Pro Bowl

Our beloved #26/21 has become the first player to ever be posthumously selected to the NFL Pro Bowl. Sean Taylor was selected as the starter for the NFC squad, having led the NFL in interceptions at the time of his death and clearly heading towards his best season as a pro. I can't say how thankful I am for all the thousands of people who voted for him and giving him the respect he deserves. Rest in peace Sean.

In addition to Taylor, 5 other former Canes were selected to the Pro Bowl. Reggie Wayne, Vince Wilfork, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Devin Hester all made their respective rosters. Kellen Winslow II will probably be able to sneak in as an alternate, and Andre Johnson only missed out because of his injury. Good to see the U representing in the NFL as the best of the best.

Jason Taylor was the only Dolphin to make the Pro Bowl. Can't say I'm shocked there. Nobody else on the roster is remotely deserving of mention, except the injured Ronnie Brown who almost certainly would have been voted in instead of Willie Parker.
