Steelers cornerback Joe Haden named to Pro Bowl for 3rd time in career
For the first time in five seasons, Joe Haden is returning to the Pro Bowl.
Haden, the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback, was named as an injury replacement Wednesday and will compete in the annual All-Star game Jan. 26 in Orlando, Fla.
Haden will replace Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters. He will join Steelers teammates Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt on the AFC defense.
Haden had five interceptions, all coming in the second half of the season. It represented the highest total for Haden since his rookie season in 2010 when he had six for the Cleveland Browns.
A 10-year veteran, Haden was selected to the Pro Bowl in the 2013-14 seasons.
