    A look at the AFC East in Pro Bowl balloting

    November 25, 2008 5:23 PM

    Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham

    New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre continues to be the AFC's most popular quarterback in balloting for the Pro Bowl.

    Favre ranks third among all NFL players with 525,825 votes in fan balloting, which continues until Dec. 9. Fans account for one-third of the process, with players and coaches also helping decide who goes to Honolulu.

    Here are the position-by-position tallies of where AFC East players rank within the conference:

    Quarterback
    1. Brett Favre, Jets (525,825 votes)
    Comment: He has about 152,000 more votes than second-place Jay Cutler.

    Running back
    1. Ronnie Brown, Dolphins (346,059)
    4. Marshawn Lynch, Bills (181,613)
    Comment: Tennessee Titans rookie Chris Johnson is behind Brown by about 36,000 votes.

    Fullback
    3. Tony Richardson, Jets (95,559)
    Comment: Richardson still third, but he's closing the gap a bit on LeRon McClain, about 22,000 votes ahead.

    Wide receiver
    4. Randy Moss, Patriots (235,279)
    Comment: Moss finally had a Pro Bowl-worthy game with three touchdowns against Miami. He trails first-place Brandon Marshall by 50,000 votes.

    Tight end
    None.
    Comment: No AFC East tight end should be in the top five.

    Center
    3. Nick Mangold, Jets (126,938)
    Comment: Mangold is hopelessly way behind Kevin Mawae and Jeff Saturday.

    Guard
    1. Alan Faneca, Jets (215,134)
    5. Logan Mankins (74,936)
    Comment: Bills guard Derrick Dockery falls out of the fourth spot, while Mankins deservedly debuts in the top five.

    Tackle
    1. Jake Long, Dolphins (137,556)
    2. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Jets (125,602)
    3. Matt Light, Patriots (100,824)
    Comment: Again, the only AFC East left tackle not in the top five is former Pro Bowler Jason Peters.

    Defensive end
    None.
    Comment: Still no Richard Seymour?

    Defensive tackle
    4. Kris Jenkins, Jets (105,282)
    5. Marcus Stroud, Bills (93,589)
    Comment: Stroud slips from third to fifth, while Jenkins rises from fourth to third. Albert Haynesworth has more then twice as many votes as second-place Casey Hampton with 263,064 votes.

    Outside linebacker
    1. Joey Porter, Dolphins (198,283)
    Comment: Chatty sackmaster has about 42,000 more voted than second-place James Harrison.

    Inside linebacker
    4. Tedy Bruschi, Patriots (60,658)
    5. Jerod Mayo, Patriots (52,290)
    Comment: Rookie of the Year candidate Mayo debuts on the list and deserves to finish higher than Bruschi. Regardless, Ray Lewis is uncatchable.

    Cornerback
    None.
    Comment: Darrelle Revis is being overlooked because of such big names as Champ Bailey and Cortland Finnegan.

    Strong safety
    4. Yeremiah Bell, Dolphins (22,977)
    5. Donte Whitner, Bills (22,945)
    Comment: Bell and Whitner switch positions on the list. Whitner's shoulder injury is keeping him off the field and certainly will affect his votes. Troy Polamalu is in first by a large margin.

    Free safety
    4. Kerry Rhodes, Jets (46,198)
    Comment: Ed Reed is way out in front with more than three times as many votes as Rhodes.

    Kicker
    5. Dan Carpenter, Dolphins (50,793)
    Comment: Stephen Gostkowski is tied for the NFL lead with 103 points and can't get any Pro Bowl love.

    Punter
    3. Brian Moorman, Bills (44,599)
    Comment: Moorman moves up from fourth and is only 22,000 votes behind leader Shane Lechler.

    Kick returner
    2. Leon Washington, Jets (63,709)
    Comment: Washington jumps up from fourth but still is 25,000 votes from Darren Sproles. Bills specialist Roscoe Parrish falls out of fifth.

    Special teamer
    2. Patrick Cobbs, Dolphins (55,894)
    3. Larry Izzo, Patriots (43,462)
    Comment: Cobbs and Izzo flip-flop spots. Cobbs is only about 4,000 votes behind Anthony Madison.

    I know Lucky is going to kill me for this but how does Darelle Revis not make it? Champ Bailey has missed time this year and Revis is a very good player.

    Ronnie brown really needs to get more yards if he wants to hold that spot. He has a lot of TDs though.
