Two more Cleveland Browns are headed to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl. Not bad for a team that didn’t even make the playoffs.

Browns quarterback Derek Anderson will replace New England’s Tom Brady and tight end Kellen Winslow will sub for San Diego’s Antonio Gates on the AFC’s roster for the Feb. 10 game in Honolulu.

Brady has been bothered by a tender ankle. In a release, the Browns did not provide a reason for Anderson replacing the Patriots star.

With Anderson and Winslow making the trip, the Browns will have six players in the Pro Bowl.

Anderson threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdown passes while going 10-5 as a starter for Cleveland.

Despite playing on bad knees and with a separated shoulder, Winslow led the Browns with 82 receptions and had 1,106 receiving yards, the most by a Cleveland tight end.

Anderson and Winslow will join Browns kick returner Joshua Cribbs, wide receiver Braylon Edwards, long snapper Ryan Pontbriand and offensive tackle Joe Thomas in Hawaii.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Casey Hampton will play in his third consecutive Pro Bowl after being chosen as the injury replacement for the Chargers’ Jamal Williams.

Hampton, selected this season as one of the 33 members of the Steelers’ 75th anniversary all-time team, will join quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, guard Alan Faneca and outside linebacker James Harrison in Honolulu. Faneca and Harrison will be AFC starters.
