Thomas will join teammates Braylon Edwards & Joshua Cribbs, while three others such as Eric Steinbach, Derek Anderson & Kellen Winslow remain first alernates.

With Thomas going to the Pro Bowl it is the first Browns’ offensive lineman since Cody Risien 20 years ago.

 

 

This past season was a great season for Thomas, starting all 16 games and helped Jamal Lewis rush for over 1,300 yards (another great feat for the Browns).

“I am thrilled to be selected for the Pro Bowl and for the opportunity to play with some of the best players in the NFL,” Thomas said. “I understand that being selected as an alternate means that someone else could not attend, so I wish the best for Jason Peters. But this is truly an honor and I will do my best to represent the Browns and the AFC in Hawaii.”
