 Brady led the fan voting for the 2016 Pro Bowl, garnering 701,554
votes, the National Football League announced on Thursday.
Quarterbacks occupied the top five places, with Brady followed by
Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers), Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals),
Carson Palmer (Arizona Cardinals) and Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay
Packers).
Brady, 38, who has won four Super Bowls with the Patriots, was
suspended by the NFL for the first four games of this season for his
alleged role in a scheme to deflate footballs during a playoff game
last season.
However, a federal judge overturned the suspension and Brady has not
missed a game this season, with the Patriots making a flying start
by winning their first 10 contests.
The Pro Bowl players are selected by a consensus vote of fans,
players and coaches. The participants will be announced next
Tuesday.
