First Pro Bowl is special

ESPN.com

HONOLULU -- Each day this week, we'll ask players for their thoughts on a certain topic.

What has it been like being at your first Pro Bowl?

John Abraham
"It's been fun hanging out with a lot of players that I've watched a lot. I guess now I'm kind of with them, which is a little shocking, because I'm not really used to being with this kind of caliber of players. But it's been nice so far."
Tom Brady
"It's fun, it's a lot of fun. It's so rewarding, because you put all this work in to try to help your team win, and when we win, the quarterbacks are normally the guys who get rewarded."
Keith Brooking
"It's unbelievable. It's a really great feeling that all the hard work you put into it, not only last year, but from the time I can remember, finally pays off. The only bad thing is that a lot of these guys have three or four of their teammates here and I'm here by myself, but that comes with winning. A lot of those guys are the reason that I'm here."
Priest Holmes
"The first Pro Bowl is definitely one of those things that you remember for a long time. At the same time, it's a credit to how my team allowed me to get here. It was definitely a team thing, getting me in the position to be here."
Deltha O'Neal
"It's been a lot of fun. I brought my wife and my newborn baby out here. We're enjoying the sun and the heat for a change because we're out in Colorado freezing our butts off."
