Pro Bowl Selections
December 29, 2013 by staff
Pro Bowl Selections, –Peyton Manning’s selection to the 2014 Pro Bowl was not simply a slam dunk. It was a basket by goaltending call — guaranteed points, no matter where the shot was launched or what the trajectory could have been. Had Manning not been selected, the Pro Bowl balloting would have had the legitimacy of your average North Korean election.
But beyond that, the Broncos can be satisfied with their Pro Bowl haul, which includes two first-timers who few projected to be in this spot at the start of the season: placekicker Matt Prater and tight end Julius Thomas.
No player broke through from national obscurity more than Thomas did this year, while Prater soared from 25th in the league in field-goal percentage to first in one year, punctuating it with his league-record 64-yard blast against Tennessee.
Guard Louis Vasquez is also a first-timer, but his selection was not a surprise relative to preseason expectations. His momentum toward this accomplishment has built for two years, and crested in a season in which he has yet to allow a sack. If Vasquez remains healthy, this could be the first of a gaggle of Pro Bowl selections for the five-year veteran.
