The Indianapolis Colts had two place-kickers in training camp in August. Both are going to the Pro Bowl this week after Cody Parkey was added to the roster of the NFL's all-star game on Monday.

Indianapolis kept Adam Vinatieri for his 19th NFL season and traded Parkey to the Philadelphia Eagles. Vinatieri was one of the two kickers selected for the original Pro Bowl roster on Dec. 23, and now Parkey will join him.

Parkey's trip to the Pro Bowl actually was lined up last week when the Colts and the New England Patriots played their way into Sunday's AFC Championship Game. The other Pro Bowl pick at kicker was New England's Stephen Gostkowski. With either the Colts or Patriots going to the Super Bowl, Parkey, the Pro Bowl alternate at kicker, would replace Vinatieri or Gostkowski in the all-star game.

New England defeated Indianapolis 45-7 to reach Super Bowl XLIX. Players in the Super Bowl do not participate in the Pro Bowl, which will be played on Sunday, one week before the Super Bowl. Parkey is in for Gostkowski.

Gostkowski led the NFL with 156 points, Parkey was second with 150 and Vinatieri third with 140 during the 2014 season.

With his formal appointment to the Pro Bowl on Monday, Parkey became the 33rd former Auburn player to be selected for the NFL's all-star game.

Parkey broke the NFL's rookie scoring record with 150 points in 2014, connecting on 32 of his 36 field-goal attempts and all 54 of his extra-point kicks. He broke the record of 144 points held by the Chicago Bears' Kevin Butler for 29 years. Parkey's point total also was a Philadelphia single-season record, as were his four field goals of at least 50 yards and his PAT total.

"He's exceptional off the field," Philadelphia special-teams coordinator Dave Fipp told the Eagles' web site. "He trains really hard. He watches all of the film. He studies every kick he's ever had. He charts everything he's ever done. He's extremely consistent off the field, and I think that leads him to being consistent on the field."

Parkey is the first Philadelphia rookie selected for the Pro Bowl since tight end Keith Jackson in 1988 and the first undrafted rookie kicker to make the all-star game since David Treadwell of the Denver Broncos in 1989.
