One Bears player who probably isn’t receiving the recognition he deserves is Corey Graham. The fourth-year pro is not among the top five vote-getters on special teams even though he leads the NFL with 16 special-teams tackles, according to press box statistics.
Fans can register their Pro Bowl votes at NFL.com through Dec. 20. Fans, coaches and players each account for one-third of the vote in determining the 43-man squads. NFL players and coaches will cast their votes Dec. 22-23, and the teams will be announced Dec. 28. The Pro Bowl will then be played Jan. 30, 2011 in Hawaii.

Glad Peppers, Urlacher & Hester are getting due, but that was obvious before I even read this

Please, Corey Graham is easily the best special teams ace in the league. Nobody on the team deserves respect more than him. He has every right to make it on the team & I really hope he can make a late run to get voted into the game. No special teams ace has had a bigger impact on their team then Graham has

Hester is a LOCK at this point, don't ya think?

That MLB battle looks to be pretty close! (need to do my part in that one still...)

...throw in some C. Graham love as well.

Corey Graham and Robbie Gould definitely deserve some respect. Come on guys, vote!

I voted a crap ton already. I'm surprised Bradford isn't going to be in the pro bowl the number of times i voted for him and Cutler....

Vizoted.
