The New England Patriots don’t lack star power, but a select few players have garnered individual attention across the NFL despite the team’s success.
Pro Bowl fan voting results were released Wednesday, with tight end Rob Gronkowski, kicker Stephen Gostkowski and special-teamer Matthew Slater leading the vote-getting at each of their respective positions. Quarterback Tom Brady placed third in overall votes, but trailed fellow quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.
The list excludes cornerback Darrelle Revis — who’s arguably the Patriots’ most valuable player this season — along with impact players Devin McCourty and Dont’a Hightower.
NESN.com Patriots beat writer Doug Kyed and MassLive’s Kevin Duffy discuss the Patriots’ vote-getters and potential snubs for the upcoming Pro Bowl, as well as a terrifying mouse that showed up in the Gillette Stadium press box, in this week’s Patriots Podcast.
