Your Pro Bowl scorecard
In case you’ve forgotten what qualifies six Browns for the Pro Bowl on Sunday, here’s a scorecard:
DEREK ANDERSON, quarterback: Threw for 3,787 yards with 29 TDs and 19 interceptions for a 82.5 QB rating. TDs were one short of tying Brian Sipe’s franchise record set in 1980. Went 10-5 as a starter. Offense ranked eighth in NFL with 25.1 points per game. Total points (402) and net yards (5,621) were third best in franchise history.
JOSHUA CRIBBS, kick returner: Returned 59 kickoffs for 1,809 yards (30.7 avg.) and two TDs. Returned 30 punts for 405 yards (13.5 avg.) and one TD. First NFL player to average at least 30 yards on kickoffs and 10 on punts since Terry Metcalf in 1974. Also led the team with 23 special teams tackles.
BRAYLON EDWARDS, wide receiver: Caught 80 passes for 1,289 yards (16.1 avg.) and 16 TDs, which was second in the league. Set franchise single-season records for receiving yards (1,289) and TD receptions.
RYAN PONTBRIAND, long snapper: Assisted kicker Phil Dawson to a career-best 120 points, which tied for second-highest in franchise history. In the blizzard game against Buffalo, every one of his snaps was perfect despite howling winds, winning him some national attention.
JOE THOMAS, offensive tackle: The rookie from Wisconsin started all 16 games at left tackle. Part of an offensive line that allowed only 19 sacks, tied for third fewest in the NFL and also tied for third fewest in franchise history. Never missed a play and did not allow a sack.
KELLEN WINSLOW, tight end: Caught 82 passes for 1,106 yards and five TDs. Yardage set team record for his position.

If there was a pro bowl for sportswriters, Sean McClelland would go. But probably as an alternate.
