With the Seattle Seahawks advancing to the Super Bowl, Cleveland Browns safety Donte Whitner will take the place of Earl Thomas in next weekend's Pro Bowl.
It's Whitner's third consecutive trip to the NFL's annual all-star game, being elected as an alternate after tallying 106 total tackles and one interception in his first season with the Browns.
