Seven Pro Bowl-Bound Hurricanes…

Congrats to Andre Johnson, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, Jon Beason, Jeff Feagles and Reggie Wayne as all seven are headed to the 2009 Pro Bowl.

Feagles is obviously the oldest Cane on this roster and Lewis the only rep from the 90s.

Johnson, Portis, Wayne and Reed are your most recent National Championship-era Miami alum while Beason is the only post-2001 Hurricane to grace the Pro Bowl roster.

While I hate to keep beating this “lack of talent” drum, it’s no mystery that four of this year’s seven Pro Bowl-bound Canes are from Miami’s most dominant era of ball. As the program declined in recent years, so has the Canes presence in this post-season bowl game.

Kudos to NFL U for a whopping seven Canes in next year’s Pro Bowl. That said, back to recruiting so this trend can continue in years to come.
