Haason Reddick tops OLB fan vote for Pro Bowl

CHARLOTTE — Haason Reddick is a step closer to his first Pro Bowl.

The Panthers pass-rusher won fan voting among NFC outside linebackers, which counts as a third of the overall voting.

Coaches and players around the league voted last week, and their shares also count a third. Teams will be announced Dec. 22 at 8 p.m. on NFL Network.

Reddick has 11.0 sacks and two forced fumbles this year.

The Panthers also had two other defensive players in the top five of fan voting.

Brian Burns was second among NFC defensive ends, and Stephon Gilmore was fourth among NFC cornerbacks.
