BLOOMINGTON, Ind - Former Hoosier (1999-02) and current San Diego Charger guard Kris Dielman will start in the 2009 Pro Bowl. It will be his second straight Pro Bowl appearance.

"We're not having the year that we wanted to have as a team, but it's a cool feeling to go to the Pro Bowl and to have a chance to start," Dielman said to Chargers.com. "It's great for me and my family. It's an honor that I'm very proud of, but I'm also disappointed for some of my teammates who didn't get the recognition they deserve."

Dielman and the Chargers head to Tampa Bay this weekend to face the Buccaneers. San Diego is 6-8 and sits two games behind Denver with two weeks remaining in the 2008 campaign.
