Tom Brady was second overall in fan Pro Bowl voting, but still couldn't claim top vote-getter numbers at his position in his conference.
Brady received 908,099 tallies in fan voting, second overall to Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (993,045). While Brady didn't lead at his position, three other Patriots topped fan voting at their positions, with Rob Gronkowski (646,273) not only leading AFC tight ends but finishing eighth overall in fan voting, Jerod Mayo (323,411) topping AFC inside linebackers and Logan Mankins (206,026) finishing at the top of fan voting for AFC guards.
The Pro Bowl teams are named based on votes from fans, coaches and players. The teams will be announced on Dec. 26.
