The Falcons representation at the Pro Bowl could double. Quarterback Matt Ryan and defensive end John Abraham are first alternates and would be added to the NFC team if a player at their position gets injured or elects not to participate. Running back Michael Turner and wide receiver Roddy White were named to the team on Tuesday. Abraham, who is third in the NFL in sacks with 15.5 sacks, finished behind Carolina’s Julius Peppers, Minnesota’s Jared Allen and New York’s Justin Tuck. Ryan, who’s have a stellar rookie season, finished behind New Orleans’ Drew Brees, New York’s Eli Manning and Arizona’s Kurt Warner.
