LeSean McCoy, RB, fifth Pro Bowl selection: McCoy said Tuesday he feels more deserving this season of being selected to the Pro Bowl than last year, when he was also named to the game. Few would argue McCoy has been the Buffalo Bills' MVP this season after he has averaged a career-high 5.5 yards per carry and scored 12 rushing touchdowns, his most since he had 17 in 2011.
Lorenzo Alexander, OLB, second Pro Bowl selection: This is Alexander's first time being recognized for his defensive contributions after earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2012 for his special teams work with the Washington Redskins. The 33-year old has started all 14 games this season and is tied for third in the NFL with 11.5 sacks. Not bad for a player the Bills did not expect to start when they signed him to a one-year, $885,000 deal in April.
SNUBS:
Kyle Williams, DT: The 33-year old veteran was among a handful of Bills players -- along with guard Richie Incognito, fullback Jerome Felton and linebacker Zach Brown -- who were likely on the border line of being selected. Brown was not pleased about being passed over.
