No team has as many Pro Bowl representatives as the Los Angeles Chargers, who are set to send seven players to Orlando, Florida: Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon, Melvin Ingram, Derwin James, Adrian Phillips, Mike Pouncey and Philip Rivers.
Ricky Henne of the team’s official site thought Adrian Phillips’ Pro Bowl honor made for a particularly impressive story:
Ricky Henne @ChargersRHenne
The Bolts have an NFL leading seven Pro Bowlers…and I couldn’t be happier for @Phillips_17
He was unsigned two months after going undrafted, and then worked his way up from practice squad to where he is now – a Pro Bowler for his excellence on special teams.

Fans of the Oakland Raiders will want to look away from this year’s Pro Bowl. The Raiders are one of three teams without a single Pro Bowl representative, which isn’t surprising since Oakland owns the NFL’s worst record (3-11) along with the Arizona Cardinals.

For first time since 2003, second time in franchise history, the #Raiders did not have a Pro Bowler selected. TE Jared Cook, C Rodney Hudson and LG Kelechi Osemele named as alternated for the NFL’s all-star game.
Cardinals fans will at least get to watch Patrick Peterson when they tune into the Pro Bowl, though.
Rubbing further salt in the wound, Khalil Mack is on his way to his fourth straight Pro Bowl after collecting 12.5 sacks in his first 12 games with the Chicago Bears.
Not surprisingly, Tom Brady earned a ticket to Orlando. The New England Patriots quarterback has thrown for 3,979 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Brady’s 14th Pro Bowl selection is tied for the most in NFL history, per the Patriots’ official Twitter account.
Drew Brees is only a couple of years away from making history himself. The New Orleans Saints quarterback is a Pro Bowler for the 12th time, and he’ll get the start opposite Mahomes for the NFC.
Fans of the Los Angeles Rams might feel somewhat aggrieved with the voting results. Although the Rams are second in the NFC at 11-3, they have only four Pro Bowlers, one fewer than the Saints, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys.
