Congrats to London Fletcher
Posted on 06:27 by Unknown
For making the Pro Bowl. Actually, I feel bad for the guy as year in/year out the guy is one of the best at his position but he never gets his just due. He got in the Pro Bowl because Urlacher said he wasn't going to make the trip. Fletcher is the ageless wonder and he led the league in tackling this year and had another stellar performance this season yet he never gets his just due. I imagine it's largely because Fletcher is not a flashy player nor is he a prototypical LB. He is short, stocky, older and he plays for a team that has been down and doesn't get much attention. He doesn't get the recognition from the average fan like Urlacher or Willis. Still, the guy puts up better numbers than them and while he may get the respect of his peers and those that know football (as evidenced by his 2nd team All Pro honors), he is definitely under the radar when it comes to the national fans. While I know he must be happy to get in to the Pro Bowl, I am sure it would mean much more to him to get voted in as a starter as opposed to going as an alternate.
