WR Dwayne Bowe and CB Brandon Carr Named to USA Today’s All-Joe Team
Dwayne Bowe and Brandon Carr have been honored by being named to USA Today’s All-Joe Team. This award gets its name from former Chiefs DT Joe Phillips and honors “hard-working, overlooked, underappreciated player(s) who do the dirty work simply because that’s (their) lot in life.”
Kansas City Chiefs - WR Dwayne Bowe, CB Brandon Carr Named to USA Today’s All-Joe Team.
USA Today announced on Wednesday that Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe and CB Brandon Carr have been named to the All-Joe Team. Both Bowe and Carr are receiving the honor for the first time in their careers.
Here is a little more about Dwayne Bowe. He had a good year.
Bowe (6-2, 221) started all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2008 and totaled a career-high 86 catches for a career-best 1,022 yards (11.9 avg.) with seven TDs. He joined WR Otis Taylor as the second player in franchise history to register a 1,000-yard season in just his second pro campaign. Those 86 catches were the fifth-highest single-season total in Chiefs history. Bowe also led all NFL receivers with 15 broken tackles according to STATS, LLC.
Brandon Carr was very impressive as a rookie and I think he could start showing up on All-Pro list before long.
Carr (6-0, 207) was the first rookie cornerback to start all 16 games for the Chiefs since CB Kevin Ross in ‘84, opening 14 contests at left cornerback and two games as the club’s nickel cornerback. He finished his first professional season fifth on the squad with 77 tackles (71 solo), one tackle for loss, two INTs for 67 yards, six passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. Carr joined teammate CB Brandon Flowers, Washington S Chris Horton, Arizona CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Tampa Bay CB Aqib Talib as the only five rookies with four or more takeaways. In perhaps his finest performance of the season, Carr intercepted Denver QB Jay Cutler, recovered a WR Eddie Royal fumble, amassed three tackles and added a pass defensed in what fueled a 33-19 victory vs. the Broncos (9/28).
Great job guys!
Go Chiefs!
