17 Broncos Among Tops in Pro Bowl Fan Voting

December 20th, 2012 - 10:46am by Gray Caldwell

Fan voting for the 2013 Pro Bowl is complete. All that remains is player and coach voting, which will take place this week.

The final teams will be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 26 on NFL Network’s “Total Access.”

Taking only fan voting into account, 17 Broncos are among the top five at their respective positions in the AFC. The group is led by quarterback Peyton Manning, who beat all vote-getters with 85,000 votes more than second place — New England’s Tom Brady.

That leaves Manning as the No. 1 AFC quarterback. Also in first place at their positions are cornerback Champ Bailey and linebacker Von Miller.

Right behind Miller at outside linebacker is Wesley Woodyard in second place. Defensive end Elvis Dumervil is the No. 2 AFC defensive end, behind only Houston’s J.J. Watt. Ryan Clady is the AFC’s No. 2 tackle, behind Baltimore’s Michael Oher. Zane Beadles is the AFC’s No. 2 guard, behind New England’s Logan Mankins.

Next in line in third place are middle linebacker Keith Brooking (behind New England’s Jerod Mayo and Cleveland’s D’Qwell Jackson), center Dan Koppen (behind Pittsburgh’s Maurkice Pouncey and Baltimore’s Matt Birk), returner Trindon Holliday (behind Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones and Cleveland’s Joshua Cribbs) and special-teamer David Bruton (behind Cribbs and Houston’s Bryan Braman).

Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is fourth among AFC wide receivers, trailing Cincinnati’s A.J. Green, Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne and New England’s Wes Welker. Punter Britton Colquitt is also in fourth at his position, behind Miami’s Brandon Fields, New England’s Zoltan Mesko and Oakland’s Shane Lechler.

Four Broncos are in fifth place among vote-getters at their respective positions — fullback Chris Gronkowski (behind Baltimore’s Vonta Leach, Houston’s James Casey, Oakland’s Marcel Reece and Indianapolis’ Dwayne Allen), strong safety Mike Adams (behind Baltimore’s Bernard Pollard, Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu, New York’s LaRon Landry and Houston’s Glover Quin), free safety Rahim Moore (behind Baltimore’s Ed Reed, Buffalo’s Jairus Byrd, Pittsburgh’s Ryan Clark and Houston’s Danieal Manning) and kicker Matt Prater (behind Oakland’s Sebastian Janikowski, Cleveland’s Phil Dawson, Baltimore’s Justin Tucker and New England’s Stephen Gostkowski).

In other words, after fan voting, seven Broncos are in line to be Pro Bowl starters. Ten others are in the running.

    This is not the final list for pro bowl. Coaches and players still need to vote. They vote dec 20-21 and we will know who is selected on Dec 27th. If the Mayans are incorrect, LOL.

    Some Good News from the NFL for Christmas!!! We are cheering for you Chuck!

    OK blogsters I have a question? Who wins the Offensive ROY award this season?!?

    Luck has been as advertised

    RGIII also as advertised (Both in his talent and propensity to be injured due to his style of play)

    Russell Wilson is straight up Balling!

    Also to be considered Morris RB from WSH

    My vote goes to Russell Wilson, and I’m having a hard time explaining why I would vote for him over Luck but I would if I had a ballet…

    Not like any of them will be able to attend anyway :)

    I am proud of our guys but the Pro Bowl is a joke it was a laughing stock after last years performance they might as well put flags on there belts cause no one hits anyone or is afraid to tackle anyone all we can hope for is that the league stops all that clowning around by the players and makes them play real football. The Pro Bowl use to be fun to watch but not anymore :~(

  8. Von_Dumervil says:

    RG3 gets my vote for rookie of the year, Russell Wilson is a close second RG3 has been more consistant than Luck as has Wilson as of late had it not been for Wilsons slow start he may be above Griffin, Luck has thrown 18 INT in 14 games and has been up and down all 3 will be great QBs tho no doubt

    way to go,Peyton Manning! my vote went to him

    ok i have a question that has nothing to do with the pro-bowl, but its been weighing on my mind since i heard of goodell thinking of elimenating kick-offs, if he has his way about it, which he usually does. can the nflpa and coaches union vote to have goodell removed as commish? or could nfl teams disband from the nfl?

  11. blackcatchef says:

    Greywolf you have hit upon it, Goodell is turning the game into the bra-panty league. I understand rules-regulations, but to many & there is no freedom for cb’s to safetys & attempting to stop a lb throwing himself at a qb is like stopping a hydroplaining suburban, not going to happen. the NFLPA & coaches union need to remove Goodell before the game is permanently ruined. When astronomical sums of $ is at stake, there will be change for the good.
