LB Derrick Brooks on 11th Pro Bowl Appearance
“I am extremely humbled by this selection, and am appreciative of the respect by my teammates as well as my peers. I thank God because I feel like I really worked hard this offseason to take my game back to the upper level in which I thought I could play. I also thank my defensive teammates for keeping our defense at the top of the league all season. I am extremely grateful that our team, as well as our division, received the respect that was due, whereas we did not receive any voted selections last year. I look forward to winning this Sunday, giving our team a chance to make the playoffs and an opportunity to make history by winning the Super Bowl.”
KR Clifton Smith on 1st Pro Bowl Appearance
“I am extremely humbled by the selection and it is a great accomplishment, but we have a lot of our season remaining that hopefully includes the playoffs and the ultimate goal of playing in the Super Bowl in Tampa. I wish I could share the Pro Bowl experience with all of my teammates because all of the credit goes to them. I am really at a loss for words…to come in as an undrafted free agent and be selected to the Pro Bowl is just an incredible honor.”
