I just got an email from nfl.com saying it's time to start voting for players for the Pro Bowl. I don't care about the Pro Bowl (though it might matter to players down the road for HOF consideration, believe it or not), but it did prompt this thought: Who are New England's Pro Bowl-caliber players? Here's my list:
QB Brady
OL Vollmer
OL Mankins
RB Ridley
TE Gronkowski
TE Hernandez (though his stats wouldn't get him there this year due to injury)
WR Welker
DT Wilfork
DE Jones
LB Mayo
LB Spikes
K Gostkowski
ST Slater
Am I missing anyone? (note the absence of anyone in the defensive backfield!!)
