Yesterday, the NFL announced that wide receiver
Braylon Edwards and return demon
Joshua Cribbs had been named the AFC Pro Bowl roster.
According to the News-Herald's Jeff Schudel: "They are the first Browns selected to play in the NFL's version of an all-star game since linebacker Jamir Miller made the Pro Bowl after the 2001 season." Ah, yes, good ol' Jamir Miller.
Two noticeable omissions are tight end
Kellen Winslow and quarterback
Derek Anderson (and, I suppose, at least one member of the offensive line). Given that Winslow plays in the same conference as
Antonio Gates and
Tony Gonzalez, it's easy to understand why he won't be traveling to Hawaii on the NFL's dime.
And nobody's willing to argue that Anderson had a better season than
Tom Brady or
Peyton Manning. But what about
Ben Roethlisberger?
