Berry Earns Pro Bowl Honors
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, December 22, 2004
Tempe, AZ – Arizona Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry has been selected to represent the NFC in the 2005 Pro Bowl.
This marks Berry’s first career selection and he becomes just the second defensive end in team history selected to the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl since it began following the 1970 season. The other was Simeon Rice in 1999, which was also the last year a Cardinal defender was selected (Rice and cornerback Aeneas Williams).
Berry, who signed with Arizona this past offseason from Denver, has proven to be the best free agent acquisition in team history. He is tied for the NFC lead with 12.5 sacks (Simeon Rice, Tampa Bay) and second in the NFL behind only Indianapolis’ Dwight Freeney (15.0). His 4.0 sacks of Giants QB Kurt Warner on November 14 were a career-high and matched the best single-game total in the NFL this season.
While the Pro Bowl teams are announced today, the starting lineups will not be announced until halftime of one of the two Wild Card games being playing on January 8 airing on ABC.
The 2005 Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on Sunday, February 13 and will be televised by ESPN.
