For the first time since 2006, the Rams had three players selected to the Pro Bowl. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald, running back Todd Gurley and punter Johnny Hekker made it this year in voting by coaches, players and fans, the NFL announced Tuesday night.
Of course it’s the first Pro Bowl berth for Gurley, the rookie from Georgia, and it’s the second selection for both Donald and Hekker.
Donald currently ranks sixth in the NFL in sacks this season with 11, which is the second-most for a Rams defensive tackle since sacks became an official statistic in 1982.
