Raiders tight end Zach Miller will take Gates’ place. Miller had 60 catches for 685 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games last season. This will be his first Pro Bowl appearance.

Griffin was Tennessee’s 2007 first-round draft pick out of Texas and led the team this season with four interceptions. This will be his second Pro Bowl appearance. He also represented the AFC in 2008 after coming up with seven interceptions.
