The Packers will send three players to this year's Pro Bowl. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, guard T.J. Lang, and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix have all been selected for the NFL's all-star showcase.

Rodgers makes the Pro Bowl for the sixth time in his career and the third consecutive season. Only Brett Favre (9) has been selected to more Pro Bowls as a Packers quarterback. Rodgers has thrown 32 touchdown passes this season, tied for second in the NFL.

Lang and Clinton-Dix get the honor of a Pro Bowl selection for the first time in their respective careers.

David Bakhtiari and Jordy Nelson are first alternates for the NFC in this year's Pro Bowl, which is being played in Orlando and is returning to the traditional NFC vs. AFC format after three years of a 'fantasy draft' style selection.
