Quinn, Hekker named to Pro Bowl



Congratulations to Robert Quinn and Johnny Hekker on being named to the Pro Bowl for the first time. They will be the first Rams to play in the Pro Bowl since the 2011 game (Steven Jackson). It's the first time the Rams will field two Pro Bowlers since the 2007 game (Jackson and Marc Bulger). RamView may actually have to watch the game this year!

Quinn, a leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, leads the NFL in sacks with 18, also a St. Louis Rams team record. He also leads the league in forced fumbles, with 7, and has been brilliant against the run.

In his second season, Hekker leads the NFL in net punting with 43.8 ypa, which the Rams report is the third-best season ever. Equally not well-known to me, the Rams have allowed the second-fewest punt return yards in the league this season, 81 through 15 games.

Best of luck to Quinn and Hekker in Hawaii, and may many more of the Rams have a busy January in 2015.
