Rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is going to the Pro Bowl as a starter. So is fourth-year receiver Calvin Johnson.

Suh, who has nine sacks this season, is the first Detroit Lions rookie named to the Pro Bowl squad since Barry Sanders in 1989. Johnson, the first Lions receiver to have 1,000-plus receiving yards and at least 12 touchdowns in two seasons, has 77 catches for 1,120 yards and 12 TDs this season.
