ALLEN PARK, Mich. (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.

He certainly earned it. It is ridiculous how close the lions were to sending 40 players to the pro bowl.

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.
