New York Jets Quotes - C Nick Mangold, 12.29

Selected for the Pro Bowl Miami 1.31.10

On going to the Pro Bowl as a starter…

It’s an amazing thing.  I’m just amazed that the fans, coaches and players put me in there over some amazing centers in the AFC.  It’s quite the humbling experience and to see the people on the roster that I’m there with is a crazy thing.  I don’t think it has sunk in yet that I have the opportunity to be the starter for that team.
On if he’s surprised that Thomas Jones wasn’t selected to the Pro Bowl…

Yeah, definitely.  I was watching the show along with everybody else and to not see TJ’s number get called is disappointing.  I know how hard he works and the way that he approaches the game and the way that he plays.  I know he doesn’t care about the recognition, but I’d like to see him get that recognition.
On the Pro Bowl being in Miami instead of Hawaii…

I got very lucky going last year and being able to experience Hawaii and what was entailed in going out there and how things worked out there.  It should be very interesting going down to Miami.  I’ve been down there a couple of times and I know how beautiful it is down there.  It will be interesting to see because now, even though you have guys who’ve gone multiple times to the Pro Bowl and have gotten set in their ways as they do their things.  You look up to them to say, “Hey, where do we go? What do we do? How do we go about doing it?” It’s kind of a whole new business for everybody.  It should be interesting to see how it all works out.  I’m hoping it works smoothly and that it will be a good time for everybody.
