Each year I submit a Pro Bowl ballot. Each year I put a solid amount of time into it. Each year I forget I did it and therefore can’t compare the folks I selected to the folks who actually make the team. This year will be different. Below, I present to you my picks. Highly justifiable with statistics, but with an ever so slight tendency to be a “homer.” They are in the order I would pick them in (i.e. Tom Brady is the best AFC QB, in my opinion). I also chose to not select offensive linemen and special teamers because I don’t know enough about each to give it a worthy vote.
