Brees, Evans, Nicks Make Pro Bowl Roster

Quarterback Drew Brees leads a trio of New Orleans Saints who were named to the NFC Pro Bowl team Tuesday evening.

Brees is one of three quarterbacks on the NFC roster. The others are Atlanta Falcon Matt Ryan and Philadelphia Eagle Michael Vick.

Joing Brees in representing the Saints are Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks, both of whom play at the guard position.

The Falcons placed the most players in the Pro Bowl, with seven selections. The New England Patriots led all NFC teams with six.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady received the most fan votes of all players. Fan voting is one component of the selection process.

Despite their loss to New Orleans on Monday, Atlanta can still finish with the best record in the conference by defeating the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. New Orleans has qualified for the playoffs as at least a Wild Card entry and can still win the NFC South by defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and with an Atlanta loss.
