Josh Cribbs to Pro Bowl

BEREA - Cleveland Browns kick returner Joshua Cribbs has been named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster, the league announced today.  Cribbs replaces Baltimore's Jacoby Jones on the team.

This marks Cribbs' third career Pro Bowl selection as he also earned the honor following the 2007 and 2009 seasons as the AFC's kick returner. He finished fourth in the NFL this year in kickoff return average (27.4) and sixth in punt return average (12.0). He also added nine special teams tackles. Cribbs also became just the sixth player in league history to total 12,000 or more career kick and punt return yards.

Cribbs joins Joe Thomas (tackle) and Phil Dawson (kicker) who were previously named starters on the AFC Pro Bowl squad. With three players selected to the Pro Bowl, this marks the most the Browns have had since the 2009 Pro Bowl when the Browns also had three players named to the team. The 2013 Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 27 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and televised by NBC in prime time at 7:00 p.m. ET.
