Six Seahawks Make NFC Pro Bowl Roster

When the Pro Bowl rosters were released Tuesday, six Seattle Seahawks were named to the Squad—and no, there was no Shaun on the list.

Matt Hasselback (QB), Walter Jones (Tackle), Patrick Kerney (DE), Julian Peterson (OLB), Lufa Totufu (MLB), and Marcus Trufant (CB) all were named starters—except for Hasselback who was 2nd in voting behind the ageless Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers.

Seattle also has the most defensive starters in the Pro Bowl with four. Maybe now this will stop some of the critics from calling Seattle's defense "overrated." The Sea-Fence is here and they could take the team to the Super Bowl...no, seriously.

The NFL made a first in naming a deceased person to the roster when they announced that Sean Taylor was named to the NFC team. Taylor certainly would have been deserving of the honor, as he had helped lead a Washington Redskins team before being hit by gunfire and dying the next day. There will be a ceremony during the game to honor the Redskins free safety. His starting spot will be filled by Ken Hamlin of the Dallas Cowboys.
