Steelers fans, it's time to vote. And make sure you do it early, and often.
For your favorite Steelers players that is.
Pro Bowl Games voting is underway in the NFL and there are multiple Steelers players ranked in the Top 10 in votes at their respective positions.
Linebacker T.J. Watt and kicker Chris Boswell are ranked first overall in votes at their positions.
There are other Steelers ranked in the Top 10 at their positions, including special teams ace Miles Killebrew at second, cornerback Donte Jackson at third, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and long snapper Christian Kuntz at fourth, nickel back Beanie Bishop Jr. and center Zach Frazier at sixth, receiver George Pickens at seventh, free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and return specialist Calvin Austin III at eighth, and strong safety DeShon Elliott and punter Corliss Waitman at tenth.
The traditional Pro Bowl game has been replaced by days of activities, which will culminate with an AFC vs. NFC Flag Game at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, February 2.
Leading into the game there will be fun-filled and unique skill competitions, giving fans a different look at all of the league's top players.
Fans can vote for their favorite Steelers players now through Dec. 23. A social aspect of voting will be available on "X" beginning on Dec. 9. Fans can vote directly on "X" (formerly Twitter) by posting the first and last name of the player, tagging the player's official "X" handle or creating a hashtag including the player's first and last name. All three of these methods must include the hashtag: #ProBowlVote. During the final two days (Dec. 22 – Dec. 23), social votes will count as double.
