The Green Bay Packers are sending 7 players to the Pro Bowl.  Four offensive players and three defensive players is the breakdown of the Packers’ Pro Bowlers. 28-year old  QB Aaron Rodgers will be the starter for the NFC in the Pro Bowl.  Rodgers has played in 15 games for the Packers so far this year and he has completed 343 of 502 passes (68.3%) for 4,643 yards with 45 TD passes and 6 INTs (122.5 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 60 times for 257 yards (4.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs so far this year.  28-year old WR Greg Jennings might not be healthy enough to play in the Pro Bowl.  Jennings has played in 13 games so far this year for the Packers and he has caught 67 passes for 949 yards (14.2 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  30-year old center Scott Wells will be a backup in the Pro Bowl.  He has played in 15 games (all starts) for the Packers so far this year.  29-year old fullback John Kuhn will be a starter in the Pro Bowl for the NFC.  He has played in 15 games for the Packers so far this year and he has carried the ball 28 times for 73 yards (2.6 ypc) with 4 TD runs and he has caught 13 passes for 67 yards (5.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Kuhn is a good blocker, but the Packers like giving him the ball around the end zone.

35-year old CB Charles Woodson will be a starter for the NFC.  He has played in 15 games for the Packers so far this year and he has 74 tackles, 17 passes defensed, 7 interceptions (1 returned for a TD), 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and 2 tackles for a loss.  25-year old OLB Clay Matthews will also be a starter for the NFC.  He has played in 15 games for the Packers so far this year and he has 50 tackles, 6 sacks, 5 tackles for a loss, 3 forced fumbles, 9 passes defensed and 3 interceptions (one returned for a TD).  25-year old DT B.J. Raji has played in 15 games for the Packers so far this year and he has 21 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery and 2 passes defensed.  Raji also has 1 carry that went for a 1-yard TD.

The Green Bay Packers are sending three players to the Pro Bowl

The Packers are sending Aaron Rodgers, Nick Collins and Charles Woodson to the Pro Bowl.  26-year old Aaron Rodgers has played in 15 games for the Packers this season and he has completed 329 of 515 passes (63.9%) for 4,199 yards with 29 TD passes and 7 INTs (102.4 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 56 times for 314 yards (5.6 ypc) with 4 TD runs.  Despite losing to the Vikings twice this season Rodgers has fully stepped out of the shadow of Brett Favre.  26-year old free safety Nick Collins has really played well this season and he deserves to play in this game.  He has played in 15 games for the Packers this season and he has 52 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 12 passes defensed and he has 6 interceptions that he returned for 110 yards (18.3 avg).  33-year old cornerback Charles Woodson could very well be the Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL.  He has played in 15 games this season for the Packers and he has 74 tackles, 9 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, forced 4 fumbles, defensed 16 passes and he has 8 interceptions (134 return yards (16.8 avg)) with 2 TD returns.  The Packers would rather play in the Super Bowl so they hope they will have to cancel the plans for these three players.
