NFL Pro Bowl balloting is underway, and yesterday the NFL announced the leading vote-getters for the 2014 Pro Bowl. Three Cowboys are among the leading vote-getters at their positions in 2014 Pro Bowl voting.
The numbers released by the NFL show that Dez Bryant is the number three wide receiver in fan voting behind Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green, and is also among the top ten vote-getters of all NFL players. Jason Hatcher at defensive tackle and Sean Lee at inside linebacker are the second leading vote-getters at their respective positions and round out the Cowboys players currently showing up on the ballots. If they all end up making the Pro Bowl, it would be the first Pro Bowl nomination for each of the three players.
If you haven't voted for your favorite Cowboys players yet, go to NFL.com/ProBowl and cast your vote. Multiple times. Every day.
Balloting will conclude Thursday, Dec. 26, and the Pro Bowl players will be announced the next day.
The NFL has done away with the traditional NFC versus AFC Pro Bowl, and instead will implement an unconferenced Pro Bowl for which players will be selected via a "Pro Bowl Draft": The NFL's top two vote-getters on offense and defense become team captains for Deion Sanders' team and Jerry Rice's team. In a fantasy draft style setting, the captains pick from the voted all-stars to form the teams regardless of which conference the players come from.
And since there's bound a way to make money out of this, the Pro Bowl Draft will of course air on NFL Network during the week leading up to the game.
