Giants reap Pro Bowl benefit of all the Patriots bailing out

Odell Beckham Jr. was the only Giants player voted into the Pro Bowl, but he was later joined by Eli Manning after Ben Roethlisberger dropped out.

Beckham and Manning will have even more company in Hawaii after two more teammates, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and kicker Josh Brown, were added Tuesday to the Pro Bowl roster. The all-star game is Sunday in Honolulu.

Rodgers-Cromartie replaces Patriots cornerback Malcom Butler and Brown replaces Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, both of whom are injured in the wake of Sunday’s AFC Championship game defeat.

Rodgers-Cromartie is the first Giants cornerback to play in a Pro Bowl in 32 years, since Mark Haynes made it in 1984 for the third consecutive time.
