Texans' Watt, Clowney, Hopkins, McKinney named to Pro Bowl

Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt's epic comeback story was recognized Tuesday night when he was voted to the Pro Bowl.

Along with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney, Watt was named to the NFL's annual all-star game.

Watt hadn't been in the Pro Bowl the past two years due to injury-abbreviated seasons as he dealt with a gruesome broken leg last year and a herniated disk two years ago.

Watt was named to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time.

He has 14 1/2 sacks, 17 tackles for losses, 24 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles.
