APThe Ravens are going to the Super Bowl. Which means that their Pro Bowlers aren’t going to the Pro Bowl.
Which means that the AFC team will need replacements to running back Ray Rice, fullback Vonta Leach, guard Marshal Yanda, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, safety Ed Reed, and kick returner Jacoby Jones.
The first replacement named comes courtesy of the Raiders, who have announced that fullback Marcel Reece will replace Leach.
Reece started 10 games at fullback and four at tailback for the Raiders in 2012, his fifth with the team.

Congrats Marcel well deserved.
Why would anyone play in this game?
Next year with a real O Marcel will be the Probowl FB!
No thanks go out to Greg Knapp.
Reece is a beast. One of the few raiders that deserves a Pro Bowl roster spot, and this call up is probably the only highlight of the 2012 Raiders season.
This years Pro Bowl is sponsored by McDonald’s. In comparison, even a regular season game gets Papa John’s.
No offense to Leach ……
But Marcel Reece did have two hell of a years making plays and laying himself out in a situation where he was not going to get any credit or self gratification.
I hope that Marc Davis steps up an makes this a vacation for Reece and his family. They truly deserve it.
What a great story. Reece was a wide receiver in college. Making a successful transition to fullback in the NFL is one thing… earning a Pro Bowl spot is just amazing. Congrats to Marcel!
Hes was the most deserving raider to go(besides janikowski) and good for him
Cool, now I can watch it this year. He should have been named a starter in the first place.
If anyone from the nation deserved it, I’d have to say him
Congrats to Marcel!! This guy is a versatile playmaker and was one of the FEW bright spots and consistent performers on a dismal offense…
Should of been the starter originally
Cel is awesome. Just awesome!
Marcel is a beast!! He should be our starter with #20 as our change of pace back…. Unstoppable !!
well at least there will be a silver and black spotting in hawaii..

or maybe they can both in the backfield at the same time…….that would be a concept, a fb, and a rb…playing together.
