Defensive End Cameron Wake (Pro Bowl Quote Sheet)

(What does the honor of being selected to the Pro Bowl by fans, coaches and fellow players mean to you?) – “In my opinion, being selected to the Pro Bowl is the highest honor, specifically because it is selected by people you play against and people you play for. It shows they respect the way you play, how you play the game, and I’m truly honored to represent the Miami Dolphins in this year’s Pro Bowl.

(Is this Pro Bowl more meaningful based on what you had to overcome in returning from such a serious injury) – “Aside from the first one, this one is probably the most meaningful, especially because of the situation that happened last year being cut short and having to work tremendously hard all the way from last December until now. To be able to be back on the field and help my team win, it means a lot to me. It shows all the hard work, the late nights, all the pain and suffering makes it all worthwhile. I know my family and support system – the people who got me through all the hard times – really appreciate this honor.”

(What does it say about this team that two players on the defensive line were selected to the Pro Bowl?) – “From Day 1, we knew that this defense was going to rely heavily on the guys up front, the guys getting after it. The reality is we wouldn’t be able to do our job without the guys in the back end and the guys covering, the linebackers making plays. I think this truly is an honor that everybody takes part in, not just myself and (Ndamukong) Suh, but all the guys who make it possible to make plays on Sundays, from the coaching staff, to the guys on offense playing hard and practicing to make it difficult for us so that Sundays we all can succeed. This is not just on a couple guys; this is everybody putting in energy and effort. I just happen to be one of the guys that made the plays.”
