Six Eagles headed to Pro Bowl
by Eric Schwartz
The NFL released the Pro Bowl rosters today and the Eagles had six players selected to the NFC team. Defensive end Trent Cole, receiver DeSean Jackson, tackle Jason Peters, cornerback Asante Samuel, fullback Leonard Weaver and kicker David Akers were all selected to the game which will be played in Miami this season.
Despite a strong season, Donovan McNabb was left off of the team, in large part to the success of Brett Favre, Drew Brees Aaron Rodgers.
With the Pro Bowl being played the week before the Super Bowl this year, there will be more spots turned down than usual as the two teams playing in the Super Bowl will not send participants to the game. This means even more Eagles could be added at a later date.
Or even better, those six Eagles could have to turn down their chance to play in the Pro Bowl — they would have a bigger game to worry about.
You can view the complete roster on www.nfl.com.
