New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady received 833,481 votes, followed by Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (832,446), Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (829,174) and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (743,355).
The 2018 Pro Bowl is set to take place Jan. 28 in Orlando, Fla., the week before Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. The full roster for the Pro Bowl, which is determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, will be announced Tuesday.
Bell (1,105 rushing yards, 579 receiving yards) and Brown (99 receptions, 1,509 yards, 9 TDs) -- combining for 18 total touchdowns -- have helped lead the 11-2 Steelers to the top seed in the AFC heading into Sunday's game against the 10-3 Patriots.
Brady has thrown for 3,865 yards for 27 touchdowns with just six interceptions.
Wentz underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair his torn left anterior cruciate ligament after he was injured last Sunday in the Eagles' 43-35 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve and finished with 33 touchdowns, completing 60.2 percent of his passes for 3,296 yards with seven interceptions in 13 games in 2017.
The rest of the top 10 voting among fans consisted of Rams running back Todd Gurley, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Rams quarterback Jared Goff, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette.
