TE Owen Daniels Added to Pro Bowl Roster

[Keith]

Owen will be replacing Antonio Gates per the ESPN.com blog.

The Texans said they now rank as the only team in the league with three players from the 2006 draft class -- their first with Gary Kubiak as coach -- heading to the Pro Bowl.

Here Here. He deserves it.

ProFootballWeekly.com agrees. From their list of Pro Bowl snubs, which is based on input from NFL coaches, scouts, and executives:

5. TE Owen Daniels / Texans — Daniels’ Pro Bowl candidacy fell into the same trap [Dallas] Clark faced: This was just a loaded year at the TE position in the AFC, and with only two roster spots for the position, Daniels got squeezed out. “I think Owen Daniels is the best tight end in our conference,” one panelist said.

Great... There goes a little extra cash out of the McNair's wallet.

Good for OD. I think he deserved to go, but is relatively unknown as a TE nationally and that probably hurt him being voted in.

I think this is good publicity for the Texans, with three going to the Pro Bowl.

Awesome! He deserves to go. He is definatly sitting at the top of the list when it comes to TE. It think it was his red zone production that gave Gates the edge. As blockers I have no idea which is better though.

He deserves it.

[NBT]

Richly deserved.
