Pro Bowl 2012: Green Bay Packers' Offensive Weapons Will Be Main Attraction

The Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl defense fell short this January, and they won't be able to repeat in Indianapolis this coming February. However, they will be able to win something they did not in 2010: a Pro Bowl for the NFC.

The Packers, who finished the regular season with the league's best record at 15-1, will feature four offensive starters in this year's Pro Bowl, including MVP candidate quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers threw for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns in 2011 with Green Bay without playing in the Pack's final game of the year. 

Rodgers will be joined by Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings, who caught 67 balls for 949 yards and nine touchdowns, only good enough for second-best behind fellow wideout Jordy Nelson, who was snubbed from the trip to Hawaii.

Expect the Packers' weapons to put on a show, though. They ranked third in passing offense this past season and scored more points than any team during the regular season. Fullback John Kuhn and center Scott Wells will also make the trip and should garner attention with some strong play, considering their season was ended prematurely at the hands of the NFC champion New York Giants.

No team in the league knows offense better than the Packers, except for the Saints, and no quarterback was as dominant and efficient as Rodgers this season. Knowing just how competitive No. 12 can be, you can bet he will be looking for Jennings time and again hoping to blowup the scoreboard.

Revenge can't happen until next fall for the Packers, but they can take a small step in sweetening the sour taste in their mouths with an explosive outing at the most meaningless game of the year as far as the NFL is concerned. 

The numbers don't lie, and they say that the Packers' playmakers are the best suiting up on Sunday night in Honolulu. With Tom Brady and the Patriots offense awaiting more important matters, watch for the handful of offensive cheeseheads to make their presence felt at the 2012 Pro Bowl.
