Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell received the most fan votes and leads eight Pittsburgh players as 2018 Pro Bowlers.

Bell was joined by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, injured receiver Antonio Brown, offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva, guard David DeCastro, center Maurkice Pouncey, injured linebacker Ryan Shazier and kicker Chris Boswell on the Pro Bowl rosters announced Tuesday. 

The rosters were determined by a consensus votes of fans, players and coaches.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was second among fan voting. Injured Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was the NFC's top vote-getter, followed by Saints signal-caller Drew Brees. The resurgent Rams had five players selected with running back Todd Gurley, defensive tackle Aaron Donald and three of the four special teams players with punter Johnny Hekker, kicker Greg Zuerlein and return man Pharoh Cooper. 

Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore and running back Alvin Kamara, Cardinals special teamer Budda Baker and Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt were the only rookies selected for the game.

Replacements for injured players, as well as those whose teams play in Super Bowl LII, will be announced over the next couple of weeks.

The 2018 Pro Bowl will be played Jan. 28 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Pro Football Hall of Famers Derrick Brooks, Warrick Dunn, Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson will serve as 2018 Pro Bowl Legends captains.
