Surprised as well with Boldin. Congrats though. It could be vindication by not making it last year?

ADRIAN WILSON, ANQUAN BOLDIN
SELECTED TO 2007 PRO BOWL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Tempe, AZ – Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin and safety Adrian Wilson have been selected to represent the NFC in the 2007 Pro Bowl. It is the second career selection for Boldin and the first for Wilson.
Wilson becomes the fifth safety in franchise history selected to the Pro Bowl and the first since Tim McDonald in 1992. He joins McDonald (1989, ‘91, ‘92), Jerry Norton (1959, ‘60-61), Don Paul (1953), and Hall of Famer Larry Wilson (1962-63, ‘65-70).
Boldin, who was selected to the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2003, joins Mel Gray (1974-77) and Roy Green (1983-84) as the only Cardinals receivers to earn multiple Pro Bowl selections. Five other receivers earned one selection - David Boston (2001), Larry Fitzgerald (2005), Rob Moore (1997), J.T. Smith (1988), and Pat Tilley (1980).
Wilson, the only player in the NFC with at least four sacks and four interceptions, became the first player in NFL history with two defensive touchdowns of 99+ yards in a single season. He set a franchise record with his 99-yard interception return for a touchdown in Atlanta on October 1 and his 99-yard fumble return for a touchdown at Minnesota on November 26 ranks fifth-longest in NFL history. In addition to his four interceptions and four sacks, Wilson ranks third on the team with 80 tackles, has forced four fumbles and recovered two.
Boldin leads the Cardinals with 75 receptions for 1,027 yards and has recorded four receiving touchdowns. He became only the second player in franchise history (Roy Green) to post three 1,000-yard receiving seasons in a career. With 100-yard receiving games in 2006, he is now tied for 3rd in franchise history in that category and his 224 career receptions now rank 9th in team history. Earlier this season, the fourth-year receiver became the all-time fastest NFL player to reach 300 career receptions when he hit the mark in Oakland, taking him only 47 games.
Fitzgerald and kicker Neil Rackers were both selected to the Pro Bowl last season and this marks the first time since 1996-1997 that multiple Cardinals have been selected in consecutive seasons. Rob Moore and Aeneas Williams went in 1997, a year after Williams, Lomas Brown, Larry Centers, and Eric Swann were selected in 1996.
The 2007 Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on Saturday, February 10 and will be televised by CBS.
Wilson and Boldin will be available to discuss their selections today at 3:00 PM in the press conference room at the Cardinals training facility.

Wilson is definitely more of a physical specimen than McDonald was.
I'm really happy for both guys.

I wish we could have sent more and think next yer if the team keeps gelling we could see 2 WR, a QB nd a RB all in one season, the colts just did it without the RB (i didnt see addai could be wrong).
I own a wilson jersey nd Q is by far my favorite player in the NFL, this is good news.
