Without Manning, Newton was the next man up. He was the NFC’s first alternate at quarterback. Newton had a spectacular rookie season as he set a new first-year record for passing yards.
He’ll join receiver Steve Smith and center Ryan Kalil, who were voted in previously, as Carolina’s representatives at the Pro Bowl.
