Budda is now second.
A week after the rookie surprisingly led all NFL players in votes for the Pro Bowl special teams spot, Budda Baker dropped to second behind Philadelphia's Kamu Grugier-Hill. You have to wonder if Grugier-Hill's emergency turn as kicker -- quite a sight on national TV for a 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker who looks even bigger -- made an impact. Still Baker is in good shape, even if he shrugs off the current standings.
"It feels good but I don't really pay attention to any of it," Baker said. "I didn't really even know about that. Chandler (Jones) told me about it. It's cool, but it's still early."
A quick rundown on the rest of the Cardinals currently among the top 10 vote-getters at their position in the NFL:
-- WR Larry Fitzgerald (fifth overall, third in NFC) -- OLB Chandler Jones (fifth overall, first in NFC) -- CB Patrick Peterson (eighth overall, fifth in NFC) -- FS Tyrann Mathieu (ninth overall, fifth in NFC)
