By AccessWDUN Staff

The NFL announced Monday that Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal has been named to the Pro Bowl. Neal is replacing Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins.

The Florida native will be returning home to play in his first career Pro Bowl. Neal played in all 16 games this season and recorded 113 total tackles, which was second on the team and second among defensive backs in the league. Neal also recorded three forced fumbles on the season – second among safeties. He now has eight forced fumbles for his career, which are the most forced fumbles by a defensive back in his first two seasons in the NFL.

Neal also chipped in six passes defensed and his first career interception this season. He is the fourth player that has been selected to play in the Pro Bowl for the Falcons this season: WR Julio Jones, C Alex Mack, and LB Deion Jones.
