Coach55 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I was looking at the 2009 pro-bowlers and found an interesting stat. Each player was either a high draft pick or went undrafted. Shows you either need to be a diamond in the rough hidden at some small school or truly highly touted... C - 1 1st, 2 2nds, 2 undrafted G - 3 1sts, 1 2nd, 2 undrafted T - 7 1sts, 2 2nds, 1 undrafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach55 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Are you saying that in total 5 centers, 6 guards and 10 tackles made the Pro bowl in 2009? Sorry, I was picking up Alan Faneca in my tackle column. He should be a guard and was a first rounder, adjust accordingly. My point is that using the small sample size I took, the background of the pro-bowl players seem to be highly touted or undrafted. We have 2 high draft picks (Wood and Levitre) and a whole lotta notta. Not saying we need 5 pro-bowlers on the line, but we may have 2 that fits the "pro-bowl" bill.

Mark Long Beach Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 AFC vs NFC probowl, roughly two players per position. Plus injury selections so 21 players sounds about right.... Or am I missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you arent even a lineman or you played at a small school or only have one year starting or something along those lines but you have prototypical physical tools so a team invests energy into converting you into a top flight lineman and actually succeeds.
