It comes as no surprise here that Joe Thomas is on his way to his ninth Pro Bowl in as many seasons. Joining him will be center Alex Mack, making his third appearance. Last season, Thomas became the first offensive lineman to make the Pro Bowl in his first eight seasons. He has now tied the Cleveland Browns franchise record with Jim Brown and Lou Groza who both had nine under their belts for their career. Note, Brown made all nine of his appearances in consecutive years (1967-1965). Wide receiver Travis Benjamin, tight end Gary Barnidge, and special teamer Johnson Bademosi were selected as alternates.
