Cliff Avril among four Seahawks selected to the Pro Bowl

Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril was voted to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday, joining cornerback Richard Sherman, defensive lineman Michael Bennett and linebacker Bobby Wagner as the four Seahawks selected.

Avril is having the best season of his nine-year career. He has a career-high 11.5 sacks this season and has been Seattle’s most consistent and disruptive pass rusher.

This is Sherman’s fourth Pro Bowl selection, Wagner’s third and Bennett’s second.

The Seahawks also have eight Pro Bowl alternates who could be added to the roster later: receiver Doug Baldwin, center Justin Britt, safety Kam Chancellor, tight end Jimmy Graham, kicker Steven Hauschka, returner Tyler Lockett, quarterback Russell Wilson and tight end K.
