This year's Pro Bowl is a little different. So are the Pro Bowl ballots. Players will be chosen for the game regardless of conference, which is a relief. It means the best four tight ends should make the game, even if the best four players at a position happen to all play in one conference.
With Pro Bowl fan voting wrapping up on December 26, the Around the League crew decided it would be a good time to fill out our ballots. You can look at our choices below and make your own picks right here.
