In the three times QB Matt Ryan has been selected to the Pro Bowl, Saints QB Drew Brees has been there too. In the irony of ironies, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is now replacing Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan (who will regrettably be advancing to the Super Bowl in Houston) as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2016.
This is greatly deserved for Drew after he had another stellar year, leading the league in passing yards for the seventh time in his career, the fifth time in his career he’s eclipsed the 5,000 yard mark.
