On Monday afternoon, the NFC Pro Bowl team treated Percy Harvin the same way he treated the football on Sunday: they dropped him... from the roster.
In his place? Chicago's own Johnny Knox.
Knox, a fifth round draft choice out of Abilene Christian, caught 45 passes for 527 yards and five touchdowns as a receiver, and also contributed 927 return yards.
His rookie season was highlighted by a 102-yard sprint versus Detroit on Oct. 4, the legendary sprint that saw the Bears' ball boy get closer to running with Knox than anyone on the Lions. Of course Knox was picked with the fifth round selection the Bears received from Denver in the minor summer trade between the two teams that sent Kyle Orton to the Broncos and some guy... what was his name again? Cutler? Yeah, Jay Cutler came to Chicago.
Knox will is listed as a returner on the Pro Bowl roster, but could be used as a receiver at the coach's discretion.
