ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Kerry Hyder is tied for fifth in the NFL in sacks. The Detroit Lions defensive end has more sacks than any defensive end in the NFL. If fans want to vote for him for the Pro Bowl, though, they are not able to.
Hyder was left off the Pro Bowl fan ballot released on Thursday, as the Lions submitted only two defensive ends for consideration: Ezekiel Ansah and Devin Taylor. When asked Thursday, the NFL said individual teams make the determination of who appears on the fan ballot, not the league.
