are one of the top teams in the NFL after starting 8-2, but standing of their players in the Pro Bowl voting doesn't totally reflect how well the team has done.
Quarterback Drew Brees is only the Saints player who ranks in the top three in votes at his position, according to the NFL's first update of the balloting released on Wednesday.
Brees, a 10-time Pro Bowler, is behind Philadelphia's Carson Wentz and New England's Tom Brady among quarterbacks.
The Saints have eight other players who are in the top 10 at their respective positions. Running backs Mark Ingram (fourth) and rookie Alvin Kamara (eighth) are both in the top 10.
