Detroit Lions fans made a mad dash to the polls late last week, and when Pro Bowl voting ended on Friday, a surprise name finished atop the list in fan voting. As revealed by the NFL on Monday afternoon, rookie Kerby Joseph finished with the most fan votes among NFC free safeties. Going into the week, Joseph was sixth in fan voting, so the late surge really made a big difference.
Joseph is having a pretty fantastic rookie season. After being thrust into the lineup due to a season-ending injury to Tracy Walker, Joseph has made 11 starts.
