Pro Bowl 2010: The Fans' Choices For The AFC Offense

The 2011 Pro Bowl is just around the corner and the fans' ballots have been counted. The following players are the fan's choices for the AFC in this year's game.

While these selections are only those of the fans (coaches and players votes count for 2/3 of the scores) the majority, if not all of these players, will be starters for the game in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

The game is scheduled for Sunday, January 30th, 2011 at 7p.m. ET in Aloha Stadium.

QB: Tom Brady, New England Patriots

FOXBORO, MA - DECEMBER 19: Quarterback Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots looks to pass against the Green Bay Packers in the second quarter of the game at Gillette Stadium on December 19, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Patriots won the game 3

Quarterback Tom Brady has completed 299 out of his 449 passes thus far this season, earning him a 66.6% completion percentage. He has thrown for more than 3,500 yards and has averaged 254 yards/game. He leads the league in completions for a touchdown (31) and fewest interceptions (4). His 109.9 QB rating also sets him atop the league as having the highest rating for the season.

This will be Brady's fifth invitation to the Pro Bowl.

RB: Arian Foster, Houston Texans

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has lit up the field this season. Coming off a disappointing injury, which sidelined him last season, Foster has racked up a league best 1,345 yds on the ground for the Texans. He also leads the league in rushing touchdowns (13) and first downs by a running back (76). 

This Pro Bowl will be Foster's first appearance.

GLENDALE, AZ - AUGUST 14: Fullback Vonta Leach #44 of the Houston Texans runs with the ball for 2 yards after a reception against the Arizona Cardinals during preseason NFL game at the University of Phoenix Stadium on August 14, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona

Fullback Vonta Leach has been instrumental in ensuring the success of teammate Arian Foster. His ability to open gaping holes, pick up the pass rush, or even pound the ball for a few additional yards has earned him the right to attend this year's Pro Bowl. His "Leach to the Beach" campaign might have aided his push for the Pro Bowl, but either way he has earned his due.

This is Leach's first year to appear in the Pro Bowl. 

WR: Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

HOUSTON - NOVEMBER 28: Wide receiver Andre Johnson #80 of the Houston Texans completes a catch in the back of the endzone for a score as he was defended by linebacker Tim Shaw #59 of the Tennessee Titans at Reliant Stadium on November 28, 2010 in Housto

Perhaps the epitome of greatness for the Houston Texans lies with the AFC Pro Bowl Wide Receiver, Andre Johnson. Despite being injured for most of the season he has still managed to accumulate 1,216 yds receiving, 8 receiving touchdowns, and 59 first downs. Johnson is the third Texan selected by the fans to attend this seasons Pro Bowl. 

This will be Johnson's fifth Pro Bowl appearance.

TE: Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers

San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates has proven to be an effective weapon on the field this season. He leads all TE's in the league for touchdowns (10) and is second in the league for receiving yards by a TE (782). 

This Pro Bowl will mark Gates' seventh appearance to the Aloha state.

T: Andrew Whitworth, Cincinnati Bengals

Left Tackle Andrew Whitworth has been a shining star for the Cincinnati Bengals. The former LSU Tiger leads the lead with the fewest sacks allowed and has sured up the offensive line for the Bengals.

This appearance will mark Whitworth's first Pro Bowl trip.

The eighth-year veteran out of Joilet, IL has proven his worth with the Cleveland Browns this season. He has been effective in protecting his quarterback and his quick thinking and foot movement has helped open up great rushing lanes. 

This will not be Steinbach's first appearance but does mark his first year being voted a starter.

DENVER - SEPTEMBER 26: Quarterback Peyton Manning #18 of the Indianapolis Colts directs the offense as center Jeff Saturday #63 prepares to snap the ball against the Denver Broncos at INVESCO Field at Mile High on September 26, 2010 in Denver, Colorado.

Perhaps one of the greatest minds in the NFL, Jeff Saturday has the responsibility of being the additional eyes and ears of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. His ability to read the defense has kept his quarterback protected more often than not and his size and strength allow him to stuff many defenders coming at him. 

This will mark Saturday's fifth appearance at the Pro Bowl.

K: Josh Scobee, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee has been cool under pressure this season. His team sits atop the AFC south due, in part, to the accuracy and strength of their kicker. Scobee has made 83% of his kicks and is a perfect two-for-two beyond fifty yards. His PAT percentage is perfect as he has made all 37 of his kicks.

Scobee visits the Pro Bowl in what I believe is his first appearance. 

KR: Josh Cribbs, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns wide receiver and kick returner Josh Cribbs has had an impressive season. He has accumulated more than 800 yds in kick-off and punt returns, 200+ yds in receiving, and has brought some life back to the city of Cleveland.

This will mark Cribbs' third appearance in a Pro Bowl.
