CHARLOTTE -- Panthers center Ryan Kalil and receiver Steve Smith were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team Tuesday night, but sensational rookie quarterback Cam Newton wasn't.

Kalil, who spearheads the league's fifth-ranked offense, is headed to Hawaii for the third straight season but for the first time as a starter. Smith, who was third in the NFC with 1,308 yards receiving, was selected to the NFC team for the fifth time and for the first time since 2008.

Smith made it as a reserve.

Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Eli Manning were the three NFC quarterbacks who made the Pro Bowl ahead of Newton. Manning threw for 26 touchdowns and ran for one, while Newton combined for 34 touchdowns--20 passing and 14 rushing.

The Pro Bowl is Jan. 29.
