NEW YORK (AP) -- Michael Vick's comeback now includes a Pro Bowl start after he was voted to the team on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, who sat out two seasons while serving a federal sentence for dogfighting, will start for the NFC in the Jan. 30 Pro Bowl in Honolulu.

Atlanta, which leads the NFC with a 12-3 record, has the most Pro Bowlers with seven, including quarterback Matt Ryan, receiver Roddy White and defensive end John Abraham.

New England (13-2), the AFC leader, has six Pro Bowlers, led by QB Tom Brady.

Four rookies were chosen, with DT Ndamukong Suh of Detroit a starter for the NFC. Cornerback Devin McCourty of New England, kick returner Marc Mariani of Tennessee and center Maurkice Pouncey of Pittsburgh made the AFC squad.

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson has been chosen to start in his what will be his first career Pro Bowl appearance.
