It hasn't been the best season for the Tampa Bay Bucs. But one guy, right guard Davin Joseph, has stood tall and steady all season.
On Tuesday, Joseph was named to his second NFC Pro Bowl team.
Joseph will be a backup to New Orleans' guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks.
"I'll trade it in for 10 wins," Joseph said on the Bucs' Twitter account. "If I could hand this back for 10 wins, I'd give it right back."
Polk County will also be represented in the Pro Bowl.
Second-year Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey and veteran linebacker Ray Lewis also were named to the AFC Pro Bowl squad.
Pouncey, who is from Lakeland High School and an ex-Florida Gator, made the Pro Bowl for the second year in a row. He missed last year's Super Bowl and Pro Bowl because of an injury to his ankle.
Lewis, a product of Kathleen High and the University of Miami, has been invited to 13 Pro Bowls in his 16 seasons.
He leads the Ravens in tackles despite missing four games with a toe injury. He was one of seven Baltimore players selected.
Joseph made his first Pro Bowl in 2008. He becomes the fifth Bucs' offensive player and second offensive lineman to earn multiple Pro Bowl selections, joining Mike Alstott (6), Jimmie Giles (4), Tony Mayberry (3) and Warrick Dunn (2).
He has started all 15 games for the Bucs this season after signing a seven-year contract in the offseason.
It is the second year in a row Tampa Bay sent an offensive lineman to the Pro Bowl. Last year, left tackle Donald Penn was an alternate to the Pro Bowl before getting the call.
