GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster after the Philadelphia Eagles’ Asante Samuel was unable to play because of an injury.

Williams had a breakout season, starting all 16 games and leading the team with a career-high six interceptions and a career-best 23 passes defensed.

Williams is the sixth Green Bay player to be named to the team, joining tackle Chad Clifton, safety Nick Collins, wide receiver Greg Jennings, linebacker Clay Matthews and cornerback Charles Woodson.
