In Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl news, it was announced that three players–Joe Haden, Joe Thomas, and Tashaun Gipson— will represent Cleveland in the exhibition game later this winter.

Instead of being played in its usual home in Hawaii, the game is set for Jan. 25 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., The Super Bowl is one week later at the same site. The annual All-Star game marks the third time since 1999 the Browns have sent three or more players to the Pro Bowl.

It’s no surprise to see Thomas selected, as he’s having, what may be the best season of his career. The former Wisconsin standout, who declined an invitation to the 2007 NFL Draft, instead, choosing to go fishing, has allowed just one sack this season, and only three quarterback hits, according to Pro Football Focus.

Among Browns, only Lou Groza (nine) and Jim Brown (nine) have made more Pro Bowls than Thomas. This year’s contest will mark Thomas’ eighth appearance in the game.

Haden is also no stranger to the Pro Bowl, earning his first invite last season, and it’s a sigh of relief to see the veteran being recognized as one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, especially after a rocky start to the 2014 campaign.

Pro Bowl Joe opened the season with three negative grades from PFF, as he allowed two touchdowns in as many contests to begin the year. He rebounded continuing to show why he earned lockdown corner status. Unfortunatley, he missed the Week 16 contest against Carolina with a shoulder injury.

The defense also got a huge lift from Gipson–when he was healthy–and the Wyoming product established himself as the breakout player.

Gipson hasn’t played the last four weeks because of a knee injury, but his six interceptions still ranks second in the NFL. And there’s still one game left to play.

If there was a player slighted, it was probably Joel Bitonio. The rookie out of Nevada got snubbed, despite posting the second-highest grade for a guard. Bitonio was beat out by Baltimore Ravens guard Marshal Yanda.
