NFL on Monday announced that Ryan Kalil, an alternate and widely regarded as one of the NFL’s best young centers, will take place of New Orleans Saints center Jonathan Goodwin on the NFC roster.

Kalil, a former Carolina Panthers center and who recently completed his third NFL season will find DeAngelo Wiliams and Julius Peppers as his teammates in the New Orleans Saints. This is for the first time Kalial is going to appear at Pro Bowl.

His predecessor Goodwin was one of the 14 members of the Colts and Saints selected for the Pro Bowl. However, he would not be able to play because he is playing in the Super Bowl a week later. Change in schedule of Super Bowl this year has prevented players from the Championship teams to participate in the Super Bowl.
