"Beastmode" is finally on his way to Hawaii.

RB Marshawn Lynch was officially added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday replacing San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore.

The addition gives the Seahawks five Pro Bowl participants headed to Hawaii this week joining S Earl Thomas (starter), S Kam Chancellor, FB Michael Robinson and CB Brandon Browner.

Lynch was a second-alternate to the Pro Bowl but with first alternate RB Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings also injured, Lynch got the nod when Gore pulled out of the game. It is Lynch's second trip to the Pro Bowl.

The five members of Seattle headed to the Pro Bowl is the most since 2005 when Seattle sent seven players to Hawaii and is tied for third most in franchise history.



Browner joined Mike Gastineau and Elise Woodward this afternoon to talk about getting named to the Pro Bowl in his first year back in the NFL after spending several years playing in Canada. Podcast available here.
