Steve Smith Named to NFC Pro Bowl Roster

by John Fennelly on January 20th, 2010 at 12:58 pm

Steve Smith may have been slighted in the Pro Bowl voting, but he will be in uniform for the NFC a week from Sunday in Miami.

Smith will take the spot of Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald who was forced to back out of the game due to injury.

Although it is not official, offensive lineman David Diehl and Chris Snee will most likely join Smith since both Minnesota and New Orleans have two lineman each on the NFC roster.

The NFC Champion will not send any of their players since the game is being played the week before the Super Bowl this season

O’Hara Lone Giant Voted to Pro Bowl

Steve Smith Left Off Roster

Center Shaun O’Hara was the only New York Giants player to be selected to the  NFC’s 2010 Pro Bowl roster today.

Wide receiver Steve Smith was thought to be a lock to get voted in, but was bypassed.  Instead, Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona), DeSean Jackson (Philadelphia), Miles Austin (Dallas) and Sidney Rice (Minnesota) will represent the NFC at wide receiver.

O’Hara, who was named as a backup to Andre Gurode of Dallas will be making his well-earned second Pro Bowl appearance.

Too bad for Smith, who definitely deserves to go to the Pro Bowl.  I guess the Giants just left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth this year…..

The Giants are averaging 378 yards-per-game on offense, which is the 6th highest in the NFL, higher than the Colts, Steelers, Vikings, Chargers, Eagles and Cardinals.

O’Hara didn’t do that by himself……
