The NFL released an update on the early Pro Bowl voting for the 2011 NFL season and there aren't any Kansas City Chiefs players leading their position group. That shouldn't be a surprise. The Chiefs don't have anyone who has played among the league's elite for all nine games this year.
The leading vote-getters in the AFC are the usual suspects -- four Patriots players on offense and four Ravens players on defense.
Aaron Rodgers is the overall leading vote-getter followed by Tom Brady, Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson and Wes Welker. If you were ever unsure of the Packers popularity, they have 10 (of 19) players leading the NFC at their position group on both offense and defense.
The chart of all the leading vote-getters is posted after the jump.
