Team Irvin Pro Bowl 2015 roster: Can Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray lead squad to victory?

Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff will join captain Michael Irvin in an effort to upend Team Carter in the 2015 Pro Bowl on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The game will be shown live at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Naturally, Irvin loaded up on Cowboys, starting with the offense, and will stick with his guys in this relatively new format. Irvin is a Hall of Fame receiver who won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys between 1992-95.

Tony Romo will quarterback the offense. Romo recorded the best passer rating of his career during the 2014 season. His 34-9 TD-INT ratio was also a career best, on his way to 3,705 yards passing at 8.52 yards per attempt.

Romo’s offensive backfield-mate DeMarco Murray will join him on Team Irvin. Murray was part of one of two pairs of player captains selected to lead the Pro Bowl squads. Irvin made sure to claim Murray, who came packaged with Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden. Murray was the NFL’s leading rusher in 2014, racking up 1,845 yards during the regular season. He finished 484 yards ahead of Le’Veon Bell, the NFL’s second-leading rusher.

Here’s a close look at the rest of Team Irvin:

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions

Breakdown: Romo was an easy pick for Irvin, who has been championing the quarterback for years on NFL Network in his analyst role. Ryan and Stafford both had huge statistical seasons, throwing for 4,694 and 4,257 yards, respectively.

C.J. Anderson, Denver Broncos

Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints

DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys

Breakdown: Murray led the league by a wide margin in rushing, totaling 1,845 yards. Murray also had the most carries of any running back this decade, so he might welcome the sight of Anderson and Ingram. Ingram, once considered a first NFL Draft bust, had a career-high 964 yards in 2014.

Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants

Golden Tate, Detroit Lions

Emmanuel Sanders, Denver Broncos

Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers

Breakdown: Irvin was a receiver, so it’s no surprise he loaded up on them. Beckham Jr. was a human highlight reel as a rookie, while Sanders finished with the fifth-most yardage of any receiver this season. Tate finished two spots behind Sanders in his first year in Detroit, amassing 1,331 yards. Cobb, who is set to become a free agent, had a career-best 1,287 yards.

Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints

Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys

Breakdown: Another Cowboys player makes the team in Witten, who is still going strong in his 30’s. The future Hall of Famer had a down year by his standards, catching 64 passes for 703 yards and five touchdowns. Graham also fell below expectations, failing to reach 900 yards receiving for the first time since his rookie year in 2010.

Joe Thomas, Cleveland Browns

Tyron Smith, Dallas Cowboys

Trent Williams, Washington

Breakdown: Smith and Thomas are widely recognized as two of the best left tackles in the game. Williams is also a mountain of a man, but doesn’t get much recognition nationally, perhaps because of the chaotic state of Washington. For Thomas, this is his eighth Pro Bowl in as many seasons.

Kyle Long, Chicago Bears

Zach Martin, Dallas Cowboys

Marshall Yanda, Baltimore Ravens

Breakdown: Martin made the Pro Bowl in his rookie year, and will be playing alongside Yanda and Long. Long has made the Pro Bowl two years running, while Yanda has been a mainstay for four consecutive seasons. In the playoffs, Yanda played a superb right tackle when coach John Harbaugh shifted the line around.

Travis Frederick, Dallas Cowboys

Nick Mangold, New York Jets

Breakdown: Frederick has made his name known as one of the best centers in football only two years into his career. Drafted as a first round pick in 2013, Frederick has shined alongside Martin and Smith on the Dallas wall. Mangold has been consistent since being taken by the Jets in 2006, becoming a six-time Pro Bowler.

Marcel Reece, Oakland Raiders

Breakdown: Reece is perhaps the best player on the Raiders, and has been for years. Unlike many fullbacks, Reece can do more than simply block. He has long been a safety valve for quarterbacks and can even run the ball with effectiveness. This year, Reece churned out 350 total yards.

Geno Atkins, Cincinnati Bengals

Aaron Donald, St. Louis Rams

Sheldon Richardson, New York Jets

Breakdown: Donald is the gem of this group. The first-round rookie out of Pittsburgh has shown incredible ability in his first year, flashing with quickness and power. Atkins is in the contest on name recognition alone. He was called out in a big way by his defensive coordinator in Cincinnati for his poor play all season.

Robert Quinn, St. Louis Rams

Cameron Wake, Miami Dolphins

DeMarcus Ware, Denver Broncos

Breakdown: Irvin went with experience here, tabbing two of the oldest players in the Pro Bowl in Ware and Wake. However, Irvin also drafted Quinn, one of the top pass rushers around with nothing but upside. After a slow start to the campaign, Quinn rebounded and amassed 10.5 sacks to lead the Rams.

Elvis Dumervil, Baltimore Ravens

Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers

Von Miller, Denver Broncos

Breakdown: It is hard to find a deeper group on the team. Dumervil had a tremendous season, finishing third to Justin Houston and J.J. Watt with 17 sacks. Miller tailed off late in the season but still had 14, while Matthews, who played inside and outside this year, had 11.

Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers

D’Qwell Jackson, Indianapolis Colts

Breakdown: Kuechly was an animal in 2014 for the Panthers. The middle linebacker hit everything in sight, totaling a league-high 153 tackles. Jackson made the most of his first impression with the Colts after toiling for seven years in Cleveland, notching 140 tackles and four sacks.

Vontae Davis, Indianapolis Colts

Brent Grimes, Miami Dolphins

Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns

Chris Harris Jr., Denver Broncos

Breakdown: Irvin went with the speedier, smaller group here. Davis has become one of the best corners in the game, while Harris got paid like one in Denver. In December, Harris signed a five-year extension worth $42.5 million. Haden is making his second consecutive Pro Bowl with the Browns, and Grimes his third.

Eric Weddle, San Diego Chargers

Mike Adams, Indianapolis Colts

T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos

Breakdown: Weddle shined this year on a mediocre Chargers defense, earning first-team All-Pro honors as a strong safety. Ward enjoyed a solid first season in Denver, justifying his contract. Adams is the unlikely name of the bunch, earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl in 11 seasons.

Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts

Breakdown: Vinatieri was his typically incredible self. The 42-year-old made 30-of-31 field goal attempts, scoring 140 points on the year. This is his third Pro Bowl.

Kevin Huber, Cincinnati Bengals

Breakdown: Huber is making his Pro Bowl debut after having a terrific year in Cincinnati. Huber averaged 46.8 yards per punt and had 37 percent land inside the 20-yard line.

Darren Sproles, Philadelphia Eagles

Breakdown: Sproles was the best punt returner in the NFL this season. The 10-year veteran had 506 punt-return yards and scored two touchdowns, helping Philadelphia to a 10-6 record.

L.P. Ladouceur, Dallas Cowboys or Jon Dorenbos, Philadelphia Eagles

Darrell Stuckey, San Diego Chargers
