Tim Tebow finishes third in fans' Pro Bowl voting [View all]

With the fan voting for the Pro Bowl having closed, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow finished third place among AFC quarterbacks with 632,912 votes, well behind Tom Brady​'s 1,454,311 votes. Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger finished second in the voting.

"I think he deserves it," offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said after practice today. "He's done a nice job since he stepped in. But when a quarterback gets an honor like that, you also have to look at the players around him. The 10 other players on the field every down with him, they deserve a lot of credit for his success."

Typically three quarterbacks are selected from each conference for the Pro Bowl. Coaches and players are voting this week. The Broncos coaches voted Tuesday and the players were scheduled to vote today.

The Pro Bowl teams are chosen with the combined votes of the fans, coaches and players. The AFC and NFC Pro Bowl teams will be announced Tuesday.
