Five players from this year's New Orleans Saints squad have been honored with Pro Bowl selections, including Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, Jahri Evans, Ben Grubbs, and Cameron Jordan. Thomas Morstead was snubbed. The 2014 NFL Pro Bowl selections have been officially announced and five players from this year's Saints team have made the squad: Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, Jahri Evans, Ben Grubbs, and Cameron Jordan. Not surprised by any of the Saints players chosen with the exception of Ben Grubbs. His play this season certainly hasn't stood out to me. To be honest, Jahri Evans hasn't been too impressive this season either. I'm also a little surprised to not see Thomas Morstead's name among those chosen. He has consistently been one of the betters players for the Saints this year and one of the better punters in the league. This will be Drew's eighth Pro Bowl selection and his seventh as a member of the Saints. Jahri Evans has earned his fifth consecutive All-Star berth. Jimmy Graham and Ben Grubbs are both going for the second time in their careers, while this is Cameron Jordan's first ever selection. The NFL All-Stars are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group's vote counts one-third toward determining the 86 Pro Bowl players who will be eligible for the first-ever Pro Bowl Draft. Players will later be assigned to teams through the Pro Bowl Draft, which will also air on NFL Network on Wednesday, January 22 at 8:00 PM ET.
