[h=2]LeGarrette Blount, Patriots, RB[/h] <figure> <figcaption> Not sure what else Blount needed to do to make the cut. He’s leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 15, averaging 4 yards per carry and is one of the main offensive weapons for the best team in AFC. This is just added motivation for a bruising running back on a team that feeds off something like this. Rushing stats: 265 carries, 1,060 yards, 15 TDs.

</figcaption> </figure>

[h=2]Jordy Nelson, Packers, WR[/h] <figure> <figcaption> Aaron Rodgers’ go-to target has shown he’s fully healthy after missing all of last season due to knee injury. Nelson has a chance at 100 catches, already has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards and is leading the NFL in touchdown receptions (12). Receiving stats: 82 catches, 1,037 yards, 12 TDs

</figcaption> </figure>

[h=2]Drew Brees, Saints, QB[/h] <figure> <figcaption> Despite leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, Brees didn’t make the cut. The 37-year-old has a good shot at his fifth season of at least 5,000 yards and third season of 40 or more touchdowns. But the Saints’ 6-8 record was likely the reason he won’t be on his way to Orlando. Passing stats: 419 of 589, 4,559 yards, 34 TDs, 14 INTs

</figcaption> </figure>


[h=2]Matthew Stafford, Lions, QB[/h] <figure> <figcaption> So if Brees was left off because of his team’s record, why was Stafford’s name not called? The Lions are first in the NFC North thanks in large part to Stafford, who has had a knack for guiding Detroit to comeback wins this season. Passing stats: 336 of 507, 3,720 yards, 22 TDs, 8 INTs

</figcaption> </figure>

[h=2]Jimmy Graham, Seahawks, TE[/h] <figure> <figcaption> In the midst of a bounce-back season, Graham has a chance to record his third-career 1,000-yard receiving season and first since he was dealt from the Saints. He’s made the most of his limited touches this season, averaging 13.8 yards per catch despite being a tight end. Receiving stats: 59 catches, 816 yards, 5 TDs

</figcaption> </figure>






[h=2]Sean Lee, Cowboys, LB[/h] <figure> <figcaption> Lee is having a career year, ranking second in the NFL with 140 tackles. The Cowboys rank in the middle of the pack in yards allowed and most of the offense has garnered most of the attention for the team’s 12-2 mark. But Lee has been the glue that has kept the unit together. Defensive stats: 140 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 INTs

</figcaption> </figure>

[h=2]Calais Campbell, Cardinals, DE[/h] <figure> <figcaption> The two-time Pro Bowler has six sacks, two forced fumbles and six passes defensed. He showed off his athleticism with his 53-yard fumble return for a touchdown for a Cardinals defense that ranks fourth in yards allowed. Defensive stats: 46 tackles, 6 sacks, 1 INT

I'm sure all of them will make it once they start announcing who doesn't want to participate.

Though Vontae Davis from the Colts has a beef. He's better than those guys. Stan Lee is a horrible mistake as he has been all over the field all year

Sean Lee should be the Defensive Player of the Year, let alone a Pro Bowler. He's been this year's Luke Kuechly.
