Coleman, Hall, Williams leading the way in Pro Bowl voting


Through November 16 in the online fan voting for the 2006 Pro Bowl, Falcons defensive tackle Rod Coleman, cornerback DeAngelo Hall and outside linebacker Demorrio Williams are the leading vote-getters at their respective positions not just in the NFC, but also in the NFL.
Coleman, denied a trip to Hawaii last year despite 11.5 sacks, more than 40 total tackles and an interception returned 39 yards for a score, is leading the way for defensive tackles thus far with 138,594 total votes. His seven sacks are currently first in the NFL for among interior defensive linemen. The Colts Montrae Reagor is currently second in the fan online balloting with 112,328 votes.
Hall, the Falcons first-round draft pick in 2004, is already getting league-wide recognition in his second season. With four interceptions already in '05, Hall leads all cornerbacks in fan votes through one month with 164,896. Cincinnati cornerback Detha O'Neal is presently second with 163,790.
Despite making the switch from strongside to weakside linebacker a third of the way through the season, Williams has still managed to accumulate three sacks, two interceptions and a block kick returned for a score. His 83 tackles place him sixth in the NFL in total stops and his 104,914 votes in online Pro Bowl balloting is the most for any outside linebacker. Colts linebacker Cato June has 104,053 votes through November 16.
