Make it seven for Walter Jones.

The Seahawks' 10th-year left tackle was announced as a starter today for the NFC in February's Pro Bowl, the sixth consecutive and seventh overall season Jones has been named to the NFL all-star game. He joins Seahawks fullback Mack Strong in the NFC starting lineup.

Jones, who turns 32 next month, and Strong, who was named to his second straight Pro Bowl, were two of four Seahawks to be honored. Linebackers Julian Peterson and Lofa Tatupu were named as NFC reserves, Peterson making it for the third time in his career and first with Seattle and Tatupu for the second time in his two pro seasons, both as a Seahawk.

Peterson was chosen three years after his last selection, 2003, when he was a San Francisco 49er.

Strong, 34, is a two-time selection after not being chosen for the first 11 seasons of his pro career.

Kicker Josh Brown, who has made four game-winning field goals in the final minute of regulation time this season alone, was left off the Pro Bowl roster. The four field goals is tied for an NFL season record.

The Seahawks sent seven players to the game last season.
