Bucs QB Garcia added to Pro Bowl squad
January 24, 2008
TAMPA, FLORIDA (TICKER) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be represented in the Pro Bowl after all.
Quarterback Jeff Garcia on Thursday was selected to join the NFC team for the February 10 gala event, making him the lone representative from Tampa Bay.
As the conference's first alternate at quarterback, Garcia got the nod after Green Bay's Brett Favre elected to pull out of the game.
This marks Garcia's fourth Pro Bowl, as he made it for three consecutive seasons with the San Francisco 49ers from 2000-2002. His return five years later came in his first year as a Buccaneer and makes him the first Tampa Bay quarterback selected since Brad Johnson in 2002.
This past season, Garcia posted a 94.6 passer rating, second-highest in team history. He completed 209-of-327 passes for 2,440 yards, 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
