Warren is having his best season as a pro with 84 total tackles(56 solo and 26 assisted), 7.5 sacks and 4 passes defended. Many Patriots fans and analysts believe Ty has been the best defensive lineman for the Pats this year even consistently performing as well as 5 time Pro bowler Richard Seymour. When the 2007 Pro Bowl Roster was announced, many fans were shocked when Warren's name was left. Ty Warren joined a number of deserving players including Ray Lewis, Leonard Little, Tom Brady and Brian Westbrook as players who had very strong cases for inclusion in the 2007 Pro Bowl. Although he was not selected for the Pro Bowl this season, many believe that it will be just a matter of time until he gets the recognition he deserves.
