(AP) -- Detroit Lions receiver Roy Williams has been added to the 2007 NFC Pro Bowl squad, replacing Torry Holt of the St. Louis Rams. Williams finished the season with an NFC-leading 1,310 receiving yards and 82 receptions, both career highs. His 16 yards-per-catch average was tops among wide receivers with 65 or more receptions. He also led the league with 24 receptions of 20 yards or more. This will mark the third-year player's first trip to the annual all-star game. He's first Lions wide receiver named to the Pro Bowl roster since Herman Moore in 1998.

I was going to say maybe the NFC offensive squad will finally put a 40 spot in the scoreboard. A Shootout in the Pro bowl? Nah!!!! LOL.
Williams had a better year as a player than he did as an interviewee. I say congratulations to the lone bright spot of the Lions.
