How does one become a Pro Bowler? TWITTER, OF COURSE!

Some players like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Michael Vick don't need any extra help getting recognized and selected to the NFL Pro Bowl.

Vonta Leach, full back for the Houston Texans, is a relatively unknown player- outside of Texans fans. Star studded teammates-Andre Johnson and Arian Foster- started a Twitter campaign to get Vonta Leach selected for the Pro Bowl.

"Their slogan 'Leach to the Beach' has become a common phrase in the Texans locker room and something they’ve sent through the cyber world," said Anna Raley.

“When you have a Pro-Bowl player like Andre Johnson and Arian Foster tell people to vote on Twitter, that helps you out also,” Leach said about the campaign.

Leach was selected to the Pro Bowl and has significantly became more popular because of the Twitter campaign.
