Orchard Park, NY – The Bills announced today that cornerback NATE CLEMENTS has been added to the AFC roster for the Pro Bowl, marking the first time since 1993 (Nate Odomes) that the Bills will have a cornerback on the Pro Bowl roster.

Clements emerged as one of the top shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL in 2004, tying his career-high with six interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. His six interceptions also tied him for the second most in the NFL among cornerbacks and he finished the season tied for fifth on the Bills with 87 tackles.

“It is a great feeling of personal accomplishment,” Clements said. “It says a lot about our defense and the type of players we have on this team. We have all played hungry and have made the plays to give us the recognition that we deserve.”

Clements will replace Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister who will miss the game due to a foot injury. First alternate Patrick Surtain of the Miami Dolphins is also unavailable due to a groin injury.
