8. Cincinnati Bearcats
Three Players: Jason Kelce (C), Connor Barwin (LB), Kevin Huber (P)
The Cincinnati Bearcats do not have any noted superstars out there in the Pro Bowl this year, but they are still well-represented. And this is the first team on the list to have all of the players be selected to the Pro Bowl and not simply be asked to replace somebody.
Jason Kelce, Connor Barwin, and Kevin Huber were all valuable players on their football teams this year.
Most notably, all of these players played under Brian Kelly, adding to the mystique of his coaching greatness as he works to continue to turn around the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program.
The Bearcats have proven over time to be a successful football program as an urban school in a mid-major conference (the Big East was mid-major regardless of what it technically was), so it should come as no surprise that they might be one of the schools to be well-represented in this game.
After all, from Kelly to Butch Jones to Tommy Tuberville, this school clearly has a track record of bringing on successful football coaches.
And they have produced successful results, in wins and NFL talent.
