Shaun O’Hara Voted to the Pro Bowl: Center Shaun O’Hara was the only New York Giant to be elected to the Pro Bowl this year. This is the second year in a row that O’Hara has received that honor. He is the first Giants’ offensive lineman to go in consecutive seasons since guard Ron Stone in 2000 and 2001 and the team’s first center since Bart Oates in 1990 and 1991.
Coaches (1/3 of the vote), players (1/3 of the vote), and fans (1/3 of the vote) determine who is elected to the Pro Bowl.
“I couldn’t have done it without the guys next to me – Rich (Seubert), and Chris (Snee) and Dave (Diehl) and Kareem (McKenzie) and without my whole unit,” O’Hara said. “In addition to them, (Offensive Line Coach) Pat Flaherty has been instrumental in my development as a player.”
Last year, the Giants sent seven players to the Pro Bowl.
Not elected to the Pro Bowl, but voted alternates include:
- LT David Diehl – first alternate
- RG Chris Snee – first alternate
- WR Steve Smith – first alternate
- Returner Domenik Hixon – third alternate
- DE Justin Tuck – third alternate
- QB Eli Manning – fourth alternate
