Cam Newton will cap off his remarkable rookie season with a trip to the Pro Bowl.

The Carolina Panthers quarterback was added to the NFC’s roster in place of Eli Manning on Monday after Manning’s New York Giants advanced to the Super Bowl.

Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers also was added to the NFC roster Monday, replacing the Giants’ Jason Pierre-Paul. Peppers, who had a team-high 11 sacks, makes his seventh Pro Bowl in 10 seasons. He is the first Bears defensive end to make two straight Pro Bowls since Richard Dent in 1984-85.

Newton revitalized the Panthers in his rookie season, setting an NFL record for rushing touchdowns in a season by a quarterback (14) and becoming the first player in league history to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 500 in the same year.

Newton threw for 4,051 yards and 21 touchdowns, and rushed for 14 scores, and is a strong contender for the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award despite 17 interceptions.

The Panthers went from last in the league in total offense in 2010 to being ranked seventh in 2011, setting a franchise record with 6,237 yards. Carolina scored 47 touchdowns this year on offense — up from 16 last season — after selecting Newton with the No. 1 overall pick.

The Pro Bowl will be played Sunday in Honolulu at 7 p.m. ET.
