Announced 12-22-04, Terrence McGee has been selected to the 2005 NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
Here are his comments after being selected:
McGee, now in his second season, has been spectacular for the Bills returning kickoffs this year. McGee currently leads the AFC in kickoff returns with a 26.6 yard average and is the only player in the NFL with three kickoff return touchdowns this year, including the NFL's longest, a 104-yarder at Miami.
"I'm very surprised," said McGee. "I didn't think I'd be excited as I was until they called my name out. It feels good and it will feel much better when I get over there and see my name on the back of the jersey. (The special teams until) was probably more excited than I was. They said all year that they were going to try and get me to the Pro Bowl and they did it. You see it week-in and week-out they are always out there sacrificing, making playing and making blocks."
The Pro Bowl will be played in Hawaii on Sunday, February 13 and televised by ESPN at 7:30 p.m. (ET).

Terrence McGee returned a kickoff 87 yards in the second quarter to give the Bills a 17-7 halftime lead.
And that was just the beginning. "My guys blocked for me," McGee said. "Each week it's a proven point for them to get me in the end zone.
That's all they talk about is taking me to the Pro Bowl.
Basically, they blocked and I hit a hole and nobody touched me.
KR Terrence McGee returned his third kickoff for a touchdown this season. His 104 yard return was a Bills record.December 5, 2004
