The 2012 NFL Pro Bowl selections will be announced on a special TV show on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m on the NFL Network. The selections are based on a combination of voting by fans, coaches and players with each group counting for one-third of the decision.
↵Not surprisingly, no Arizona Cardinals won the fan voting portion at any position. There's always a chance, however, that the players and coaches will see things differently. Here's a few Cardinals players who could and maybe should get in.
↵Larry Fitzgerald, WR: There's really no reason why Fitzgerald doesn't get the most fan votes other than the unfortunate (for him) fact that he plays in a smaller market in Arizona that doesn't get much national attention or respect. The leading fan vote-getter was Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions. With a nick name like "Megatron", you can see why fans were so excited.
↵Patrick Peterson, PR: Patrick Peterson tied an NFL record with four punt return touchdowns and he won two games on his own and had a big return that didn't go for a TD but was crucial to winning a third game. Devin Hester got more fan votes, but don't be surprised if players and coaches go for Peterson.
↵And that's it. We don't expect see any other Cardinals being selected but guys that could considered dark horses or possible replacements are Calais Campbell, Daryl Washington, and Adrian Wilson.
