Hilton of the Colts and Jordy Nelson of the Packers; Steelers running back LeVeon Bell; and Eagles special teams star Darren Sproles.I think this year the difference has just been the amount of opportunities, Nelson said. There have been more opportunities for Randall (Cobb) and myself and we have just been trying to make the most of them. I think for the most part we have been successful and just tried to help the offence put up as many yards and points as possible.Martin, Aaron Donald of St. Louis and C.J. Mosley of Baltimore were the rookies selected.Arian Foster was one of two Houston Texans honoured, along with defensive end J.J. Watt.It is kind of the leagues elite, Foster said.

Not enough, according to one of their stars.Its kind of frustrating because you sometimes feel like your teammates are getting punished for being on a good team, defensive back Richard Sherman said.Your linebackers are getting punished for not having a D-line that allows them to make 130, 140 tackles. Your D-line is being punished because everybody is not going to get 10 sacks or one guy is not going to get 14, 15 sacks — thats difficult to get on a team like this. You just feel for guys.Among the players not selected were Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, Packers running back Eddie Lacy and Giants rookie receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has 1,120 yards.In fact no members of the Giants were selected.

It came straight from the heart, the owner of the New England Patriots said, because someone other than coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady had to stand up for truth, justice and the American way.Actually, someone just had to explain what happened to those deflated balls in the AFC Championship final, but that wasnt going to happen. Not now, with the Super Bowl just days away, and the Patriots desperate for a way to turn the controversy over deflated balls to their advantage.That, really, was what this was all about. If Belichick was struggling to rally his players around their collective wounded pride, their owner wasnt going to let any more time pass before taking his shot.Kraft was nothing but all in, declaring his coach and players had way too much integrity to engage in any kind of shenanigans. To even suggest so, he said, was so offensive that someone really ought to be apologizing, and he wasnt just talking about Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman.If the (NFL) investigation is not able to definitively determine that our organization tampered with the air pressure in the footballs, I would expect and hope the league would apologize to our entire team, and in particular to coach Belichick and Tom Brady, for what theyve had to endure this week, Kraft said.If his righteous anger was a bit overboard, Kraft had his reasons for taking the podium at the team hotel before Belichick and Brady faced the assembled media for the first time since arriving a few hours earlier.Clearly, he was looking to take some heat off of Belichick and Brady, who by now have already claimed ignorance about the deflated balls in so many ways that even the media seems tired of asking the questions. But ask they do, because its Super Bowl week, and even the slightest hint of controversy is like raw meat to the insatiable appetite of television and the Internet.ddddddddddddSo Kraft tried to turn it to an advantage by declaring his love for Belichick and Brady, rallying the troops with the classic us against them mentality that coaches love to use to motivate their teams.Tom, Bill and I have been together for 15 years. They are my guys, Kraft said. They are part of my family. Bill, Tom and I have had many difficult discussions over the years. Ive never known them to lie to me. Thats why Im confident in saying what I just said.It didnt take long for Belichick to get on the podium and pay his owner back. Dressed for success in coat and tie instead of the traditional hoodie, he said he was forever indebted to Kraft for working out a trade to get him from the New York Jets, had a great personal and professional relationship with the owner, and loved everything about the organization.Oh, and he wished Patriots fans well in the massive snowstorm hitting the New England area, saying they have the kind of toughness and teamwork to get through it just like the NFL team they cheer for would get through its own ordeals.As for those deflated balls? Well, the owner had already had his say, so there was nothing left to add.I appreciate the questions, but Ive covered everything that I can cover in the previous week and my attention is focused on the Seattle Seahawks, Belichick said.Brady followed in lockstep, proving if nothing else that the Patriots had a game plan for the media this week, and are sticking to it. By then, the assembled media seemed exhausted and barely brought up the controversy in a passing reference to one of the greatest passers ever.Brady did manage to mention, though, how much he loves his owner, too.Ive been fortunate to play 15 years and its a privilege to play for this team, he said. Mr. Kraft, Jonathan (son of Robert Kraft), theyre family to me, and Id love to go out and play my tail off and try to go win a Super Bowl for him.On Sunday, the Patriots just may do that, and with properly inflated balls.Then maybe the talk will not be about deflated balls or cheating coaches. Instead, it will be about how the guys who are supposed to be so bad can be so good. ' ' '
