Take this for what you will, as Pro Bowls are more of a popularity contest than the All-Pro teams, which actually have some significance.

I found this to be pretty eye opening though. I didn't hold the Pro Bowl in particularly high regard, but the fact that 1/3 players get in certainly says something.

Anyhow, enjoy the notes below...a position by position breakdown of how many have made it and what %.

Overall:
319 players have been selected in the first round in the last decade (not 320 because of SpyGate). There have been 105 different players selected to the Pro Bowl from the first round in the last decade, so if you get drafted in the first round, there is literally a 33% chance of getting on the Pro Bowl roster. Now, getting into position by position, it gets a little more interesting....

Position by Position:

Quarterback: 9/27 QBs selected in round one made a Pro-Bowl (33%)

Wide Receiver: 12/37 WRs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (32%)

Offensive Tackle 12/39 OTs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (31%)

Guard: 6/11 Guards selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (55%)

Center: 5/7 Centers selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (71%)

Running Back: 10/24 RBs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (42%)

Tight End: 4/8 TEs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (50%)

Cornerback: 12/39 CBs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (31%)

Safety: 7/19 safeties selected in round one made a Pro Bowl (37%).

Linebacker: 12/34 LBs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl. (35%)

Defensive End: 9/42 DEs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl. (21%)

Defensive Tackle: 7/32 DTs selected in round one made a Pro Bowl. (22%)

TL;DR Good defensive ends and good defensive tackles are NOT easy to find.
