GREEN BAY, Wis. – With a late rally, Green Bay Packers star Davante Adams won the Pro Bowl fan vote at receiver.

Kansas City Chiefs players received the most votes, followed by the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Packers. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor received the most votes.

Pro Bowl rosters will be announced at 7 p.m. Wednesday on NFL Network. Roster selections are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote counts one-third toward determining the two 44-man rosters.
