Updated Pro Bowl voting

I just looked at the latest Pro Bowl results and defensive tackle Haloti Ngata is still not among the Top 5 candidates at his position in the AFC. Another notable change is that cornerback Chris McAlister dropped out of the Top 5. He has been replaced by Pittsburgh’s Ike Taylor.

Inside linebacker Ray Lewis, free safety Ed Reed and fullback Le’Ron McClain still lead at their respective positions. Lewis has widened his lead over Pittsburgh’s James Farrior by 75,774 votes. Reed leads Tennessee’s Michael Griffin by 90,266 votes, and McClain put a little more distance between him and Tennessee’s Ahmard Hall with a lead of 16,266 votes.

Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs is still fourth with 135,846 votes. He lags behind Miami’s Joey Porter (198,283), Pittsburgh’s James Harrison (155,951) and Tennessee’s Keith Bulluck (150,651).

Special teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo is also fourth at his position with 49,607 votes. He trails Pittsburgh’s Anthony Madison (60,165), Miami’s Patrick Cobbs (55,894) and New England’s Larry Izzo (54,144).

Fan votes make up one-third of the final Pro Bowl results. Players’ votes count for one-third, and coaches’ votes count for the final one-third. While players and coaches will vote on Dec. 11-12, polls for fans are open until Tuesday, Dec. 9. Fans can go to http://www.nfl.com/probowl to vote.
