The NFL will announce its AFC and NFC Pro Bowl squads today, and outside linebacker Jason Gildon may have his name called. But Gildon said he planned to sleep well last night. Something like this is out of your control. I'll just wake up in the morning, come in and see what happens. The Pro Bowl squads are named through voting by players, coaches and fans.
Offensive players vote for the defensive squad and defensive players vote for the offense.
The Steelers had no Pro Bowl representatives last year for the first time in franchise history. Staat initially hurt the shoulder Oct. 1 and practiced through much of the season, but he has been inactive for six of the past 10 games. Signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted rookie from Fresno State, Williams played seven games with the Colts this season and averaged 15.4 yards on seven punt returns and 19.8 on 12 kickoff returns. But he said that's just as well. But I have a tendency to get emotional at those things.
