While fan voting for the 2015 Pro Bowl officially ended Monday, the staff at Pro Football Focus recently released its roster of the players it deems worthy of a spot to play in the NFL version of an All-Star game, held this year in Arizona.
Five Atlanta Falcons players made the cut, quarterback Matt Ryan (reserve), wide receiver Julio Jones (reserve), cornerback Desmond Trufant (reserve), kicker Matt Bryant (starter) and punt returner Devin Hester (starter). Below are the stats for each player, serving as proof for the votes each star received:
