Rams trio takes advantage of Pro Bowl opportunities

Running back Todd Gurley, defensive tackle Aaron Donald and punter Johnny Hekker would not mind making another trip to the Pro Bowl next season — as Los Angeles Rams.
The trio had earned roster spots for Sunday’s game based on their performances this season for a team that finished 7-9 in its final season in St. Louis. Gurley caught a touchdown pass in Team Irvin’s 49-27 victory over Team Rice at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.
Gurley, who rushed for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns as rookie this season, carried three times for 18 yards on Sunday. He caught two passes for 18 yards, including a 10-yard pass from Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson that gave Team Irvin a 21-7 second-quarter lead.
Donald and Hekker played for Team Rice.
Donald, in the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year, made one tackle.
Hekker, making his second Pro Bowl appearance in three years, had one kick for 42 yards and also completed a 10-yard pass.
