NFL Pro Bowl.

Super Bowl champion and MVP, quarterback Peyton Manning, will be under center for the AFC. Receivers Andre Johnson and Chad Johnson will be Manning's primary targets. Carrying the pigskin is running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

Anchoring the defense for the AFC will be Miami linebacker Zach Thomas. This will be the seventh Pro Bowl appearance for Thomas. Thomas has now been selected to play in the all-star game more times than any defensive player in Miami Dolphins history.

Thomas will be joined on the AFC roster by Miami teammate Jason Taylor and San Diego linebacker Shawne Merriman.

Calling signals for the NFC will be quarterback Drew Brees. Brees finished the year with 4418 yards, most in the league, earning him his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Brees will be looking to get the ball into the hands of receivers Donald Driver and Steve Smith. Handling the work load on the ground will be running back Frank Gore, making his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Heading up the defense for the NFC will be Antonio Pierce, filling in for the injured Brian Urlacher. Julius Peppers and Will Smith will bring the heat from the defensive ends.
