Everson Griffen replaces J.J. Watt in Pro Bowl

Pack your bags for Hawaii Everson Griffen, you are going to the Pro Bowl.

With J.J. Watt unable to participate in the NFL’s annual All-Star extravaganza due to groin surgery, the league has tabbed Griffen to step in.

Many players consider the Pro Bowl to be a pain in the butt, which is why so many players drop out every year, but not Everson Griffen (via Vikings.com):

“Any time you get to make the Pro Bowl it’s an honor; that means you worked hard this season and you were a top player at your position,” Griffen said.
