2012 NFL Pro Bowl Selections

Fourteen teams in the NFL will be represented by various players this year in the NFL’s annual Pro Bowl, but four teams will have a much stronger presence than others.
Eight Patriots, eight 49ers, seven Green Bay Packers and seven Baltimore Ravens have been selected to play in the January 29th game in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Aaron Rodgers will take the reigns as the NFC’s starting quarterback and face off against 3-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady, who will be starting QB for the AFC.
Since both players have a significant chance of making the Super Bowl and therefore would not play in the Pro Bowl, they may end up being replaced by either Drew Brees or rookie Cam Newton for the NFC, while Andy Dalton has been announced as AFC’s first alternate at quarterback.
Check out both teams’ starting lineups below!
