Vick to start
in Pro Bowl
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -
Michael Vick's odyssey has
taken him from Pro Bowl star
to prison and back again.
Transforming from dog-
fighting ringleader to leader
of the Philadelphia Eagles
made a big impression with
players and fans of the NFL
— and not just in the city
that chants "MVP!" at the
sight of Vick's No. 7.
The Eagles quarterback,
who sat out two seasons while
serving a federal sentence for
dogfighting, was voted to
start for the NFC in the Jan.
30 Pro Bowl in Honolulu.
Vick was selected Tuesday
in a leaguewide vote by NFL
players, coaches and fans.He
made three Pro Bowls with
Atlanta before he was sus-
pended by the league and
served jail time for running a
dogfighting ring. This season,
he has gone from a seldom-
used backup to the NFC's
leading passer, the catalyst
for Philadelphia's dynamic
offense. He set career highs
this season in yards passing
(3,018), touchdowns passing
(21) and touchdowns rushing
(nine).
Atlanta, which leads the
NFC at 12-3, had the most
Pro Bowlers with seven,
including quarterback Matt
Ryan, receiver Roddy White
and defensive end John
Abraham.
New England (13-2), the
AFC leader, had six Pro
Bowlers, led by QB Tom
Brady, the league's top pass-
er who will make his sixth
trip to the game — provid-
ing the Patriots don't make
the Super Bowl. The game
will be played the Sunday
before the title game at
Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Baltimore, Green Bay and
Dallas also had five players
voted in.
Four rookies were chosen,
with DT Ndamukong Suh of
Detroit a starter for the NFC.
Cornerback Devin McCourty
of New England, kick return-
er Marc Mariani of Tennessee
and center Maurkice Pouncey
of Pittsburgh made the AFC
squad. Altogether, there
were seven first-timers on
the NFC squad and 14 new-
comers for the AFC.
Also chosen from the
Eagles were receiver DeSean
Jackson, tackle Jason Peters,
cornerback Asante Samuel
and placekicker David Akers.
The other Falcons were tight
end Tony Gonzalez, fullback
Ovie Mughelli, running back
Michael Turner and special
teamer Eric YVeems.
Joining Brady in Honolulu
from the Patriots will be
McCourty; guard Logan
Mankins, who missed a
portion of the season in a
contract dispute; linebacker
Jerod Mayo; safety Brandon
Merriweather; and nose
tackle Vince Wilfork.
Starting for the NFC with
Vick will be White and
Detroit's Calvin Johnson at
wide receiver, Dallas tight
end Jason Witten, Atlanta's
Turner and Mughelli in
the backfield, Peters and
Carolina's Jordan Gross
at tackle, the Giants' Chris
Snee and Saints' Jahri
Evans at guard, and Dallas
center Andre Gurode.
On defense for the NFC
will be ends Julius Peppers
of Chicago and Abraham,
tackles Suh and Jay Ratliff
of Dallas, linebackers
Clay Matthews of Green
Bay, DeMarcus Ware of
Dallas and Patrick Willis
of San Francisco, corner-
backs Samuel and Charles
Woodson of Green Bay,
and safeties Nick Collins
of Green Bay and Adrian
Wilson of Arizona.
The NFC punter is
Dallas' Mat McBriar, while
Chicago's Devin Hester is
the kick returner. Backup
quarterbacks for the NFC
are Ryan and Drew Brees.
Joining Brady on the AFC's
starting offense will be receivers
Reggie Wayne of Indianapolis
andAndre JohnsonofI Iouston,
tight end Antonio Gates of San
Diego, Jacksonville running
back Maurice Jones-Drew
and Houston fullback Vonta
Leach, tackles Joe Thomas of
Cleveland and Jake Long of
Miami, guards Mankins and
Kris Dielman of San Diego,
and Jets center Nick Mangold.
The AFC's starting defense
features Indianapolis
ends Dwight Freeney and
Robert Mathis, Wilfork
and Baltimore tackle Haloti
Ngata, linebackers Ray Lewis
of Baltimore, James Harrison
of Pittsburgh and Cameron
Wake of Miami, corner-
backs Darrelle Revis of the
Jets and Oakland's Nnamdi
Asomugha, and safeties Troy
Polamalu of Pittsburgh and
Ed Reed of Baltimore.
