Voting for the 2016 Pro Bowl is now open and 12s can help send their favorite Seahawks players to Hawaii by casting a ballot at Seahawks.com/ProBowl.
One player worthy of your vote is free safety Earl Thomas, who leads the NFL's No.4-ranked pass defense with four interceptions, one of which he returned 25 yards in this past weekend's win over the Minnesota Vikings to help set up a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Doug Baldwin. It was the 20th pick of Thomas' five-year career.
Thomas, who's made the Pro Bowl every year he's been in the League, also has three first-team All-Pro honors to his name. His four picks this season rank tied for eighth-most in the NFL and his eight passes defensed are second-most on the team to fellow All-Pro Richard Sherman, who has 10 passes defensed at the cornerback spot.
Fan balloting for the 2016 Pro Bowl concludes on Tuesday, Dec. 15 and Pro Bowl players will be announced the following week on Tuesday, Dec. 22 during a live segment on NFL Network.
