Browns' Joe Schobert shared Pro Bowl spotlight with personal heroes

A few weeks ago, found himself as the Browns’ lone representative at the Pro Bowl in Orlando. He also found himself somewhat in awe at some of the players around him.

For starters, Schobert, Cleveland’s second-year middle linebacker who led the team in tackles, could hardly believe he’d made the league’s annual all-star game. “I wasn't expecting it at all, I didn't plan on it,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d have any recognition like that.”

Making matters more surreal was the opportunity to share the spotlight with longtime superstars whom he looked up to while growing up in Wisconsin.
