Five of the Pro Bowlers play on the Bears' No. 1-ranked defense. While Urlacher will make his fifth trip in six NFL seasons, safety Mike Brown, cornerback Nathan Vasher, linebacker Lance Briggs and defensive tackle Tommie Harris are being honored for the first time.
Brian Urlacher will make his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl in six NFL seasons.
The Bears offense will be represented by center Olin Kreutz, a Hawaii native who will be making his fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance in his home state.
The five defensive players are the most the Bears have sent to the Pro Bowl since the 1985 Super Bowl season when Richard Dent, Dan Hampton, Mike Singletary, Otis Wilson and Dave Duerson were honored.
Bouncing back from an injured-plagued 2004 campaign, Urlacher is a candidate for NFL Defensive Player of the Year after recording 161 tackles, six sacks, nine tackles for loss, six pass breakups and one forced fumble in 14 games this season. [READ] |
