Five Steelers earn Pro Bowl nods

CINCINNATI — Five Steelers players were selected to the Pro Bowl on Monday, including four who were named starters.

Outside linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive lineman Cam Heyward, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and center Maurkice Pouncey will start for the AFC. Guard Dave DeCastro also was named to the AFC team.

It’s the fifth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance for Pouncey and the ninth of his distinguished career. The only two times Pouncey did not make the Pro Bowl during his 11-year career were when he was injured in 2013 and 2015.

DeCastro was named for a sixth consecutive season. It’s the fourth consecutive season Heyward has been honored and the second year in a row for Watt and Fitzpatrick. Watt, Heyward and Fitzpatrick have a chance to be named All-Pro as well. The All-Pro teams will be announced at a later date.
