Jeff Saturday has said that it is an honour to be included on the NFC's roster for this season's Pro Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers center has been voted into the all-star match for the sixth time, despite being benched by his team last week.

The 37-year-old told ESPN: "Obviously it's always an honour. Anytime you get to go to the Pro Bowl, it is an honour and you appreciate everyone - the players, coaches and fans - that voted for you. An an offensive lineman, it is nice to get the award.

"I am disappointed for [Packers guard] Josh Sitton, I think he should be there. It is disappointing for me, for him. I would love to be able to pass it to him."

Fellow Green Bay players Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews also made the roster.
