3. Sam Adams, defensive tackle, Buffalo: Adams put on an impressive Pro Bowl run in the final couple of weeks in stuffing the run and getting his sack total to five, second among AFC defensive tackles. He's on the league's second-ranked defense, and earned a lot of votes from offensive linemen he played against. He finished as a second alternate for a couple of reasons. Casey Hampton was a surprise Pro Bowl choice who probably deserved going more last season than this year. Second, Adams and teammate Pat Williams probably cost each other votes. Williams earned first alternate. While they have emerged as the AFC's best one-two defensive tandem, neither is going to the Pro Bowl.
