Panthers Dominating Pro Bowl Voting

Last season, Carolina only sent two players to the Pro Bowl: Luke Kuechly and Greg Olsen. Starting 8-0 does sends people to the polls however, because Carolina has 7 players who are leading voting in at their positions. 

Panthers leading the polls for position: 

OLB-Thomas Davis (44, 834)
C-Ryan Kalil (40,353)
MLB-Luke Kuechly (48,591)
CB-Josh Norman (64,915)
TE-Greg Olsen (67,734)
FB-Mike Tolbert (60,665)
ST-Joe Webb (20,194)

The impressive part about all this is that Carolina will likely send more than just these seven to the 2015 Pro Bowl. Cam Newton doesn’t lead quarterbacks in voting (he’s behind Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers), but he is 6th in overall votes with 94,810.  Kawaan Short, who is having a breakout season (6 sk, 1 FF, 4 PD), also has a nice shot at making his first Pro Bowl this year.  Perhaps the biggest story to follow in this is Thomas Davis's pursuit of his first Pro Bowl selection.  It's long overdue, and well deserved for sure!  

Panther fans, it’s time to mobilize.  Turn out to vote!
