Report: Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Logan Mankins, Vince Wilfork Withdraw From Pro Bowl

On Sunday night after the Ravens had defeated the Patriots, Terrell Suggs told the New England players to “have fun at the Pro Bowl.” Soon, there may be no Patriots on the AFC roster left to enjoy Hawaii.

Wes Welker, Logan Mankins and Vince Wilfork have withdrawn from the Pro Bowl, according to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald. Tom Brady has also dropped out, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. That leaves Jerod Mayo and Matthew Slater as the only New England representatives on the AFC roster.

Rookie Andrew Luck will replace the Patriots’ quarterback. Brady has been named to eight Pro Bowls, but he’s only participated in two of them. He traveled to Honolulu for the 2001 Pro Bowl and the 2004 Pro Bowl.

Yea and the patriots said " yea you kill it out there in the superbowl" hopefully ray lewis and suggs doesn't take that the wrong way.

Bunch of babies. Suggs was right on the arrogant comment.

Luck is a much better choice than Brady.
