Dolphins center Mike Pouncey was voted to the Pro Bowl but had to withdraw due to a foot/ankle injury he sustained in late December. He was the only Dolphin player to have been voted in. With Pouncey not able to go, it looked as though the Dolphins would have no one to represent them.
Landry will be replacing Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Landry had a very productive season for the Dolphins, totaling a franchise-record 110 receptions. His 1,157 receiving yards were sixth-most in a single-season in team history. Landry totaled 1,947 combined yards (1,157 receiving, 113 rushing and 667 return yards), placing him fifth in club annals.
