Heath deserved it for sure. He's the #2 TE in the AFC behind Gronk.
Some say that the wrong Pouncey brother made it, but I haven't seen enough of Mike in Miami this season to make that determination.
Suisham was solid this season (27-30), but old man Dawson has been better (28-29), so no argument there from me.
Ben was making an argument for a Pro Bowl berth in the first half of the season, but missing a month and then struggling afterward sank that ship.
The only players who stepped up for us on defense this year were Clark and Timmons, and you can make an argument that either of those guys might be as deserving or moreso than a couple of players from the Chiefs sucktastic defense (how does the worst team in the league get 5 Pro Bowlers?). Clark had 93 tackles, 7 passes defensed, 2 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles, compared to Eric Berry's 80 tackes, 10 passes defensed, 1 interception, and no forced fumbles. Timmons had 100 tackles, 4 sacks, 5 passes defensed, 3 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble compared to Derrick Johnson's 119 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 passes defensed, no interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles.
I highly doubt anyone else came close in the voting.
