The NFL has recently announced that Houston Texans wide receiver, Andre Johnson, has officially dropped out of the 2011 Pro Bowl for the AFC squad. With his(Andre Johnson) absence from the game it has created a void in the WR position for the AFC team. The void has been filled by New England Patriot, Wes Welker.
Despite leading Welker in every statistical category for wide receivers, except catches, Stevie Johnson was not named as the alternate at the wide receiver position. Johnson trailed Welker by only 4 receptions during the season, but had 225 more receiving yards, 3 more touchdowns, and a higher yards per catch and yards per game average than Welker.
With the AFC wide receiver slots currently occupied by Reggie Wayne(Indianapolis Colts), Brandon Lloyd(Denver Broncos), Dwayne Bowe(Kansas City Chiefs), and Wes Welker(New England Patriots) we will continue to monitor and post any updates to the position if any players are to drop out of the Pro Bowl. Also, it should be noted that 3 of the 4 players currently scheduled to attend the Pro Bowl are still participants of the NFL Playoffs with their respective teams.
