ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – **Five Broncos earned selections to the 2014 Pro Bowl, the league announced on Friday night.

On the heels of Denver's record-setting offensive performance this season, four offensive players were named to the All-Star team.

Quarterback Peyton Manning, who led all players in fan voting, is the most experienced Pro Bowler on the Broncos' list as he was named to his 13th Pro Bowl this year.

Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is the only other Bronco selected for a repeat trip to Hawaii as he was chosen for the second-straight year.

The remaining three players all earned their first career Pro Bowl nods: kicker Matt Prater, tight end Julius Thomas and guard Louis Vasquez.

In addition to the five that made the All-Star squad, eight additional Broncos were named alternates: guard Zane Beadles, safety David Bruton (special teams), wide receiver Eric Decker, linebacker Von Miller, running back Knowshon Moreno, center Manny Ramirez, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and wide receiver Wes Welker.

This year's game, which kicks off at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 5 p.m. MST on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, is unconferenced and will feature Hall-of-Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders serving as alumni captains to help choose the rosters. That selection process will be televised on NFL Network during the week leading up to the game.
