Marshall's Pro Bowl Engagement

Broncos WR Brandon Marshall made this years Pro Bowl even more special Thursday night by proposing to his girlfriend Michi Nogami during a dinner party at Roy's of Ko Olina, a restaurant across the street from the Pro Bowl players' resort.

"It's me taking a step back and looking at what's important," Marshall said today after the AFC Pro Bowl practice. "What really solidified it for me was coming out here and seeing guys, bachelors at the pool with their girlfriends, and then looking at guys like Peyton Manning and Troy Polamalu and Casey Wiegmann with their families. And looking at them, I said those are the guys I want to be. You could see their peace. That's what so important for me is to have peace. And this is the ultimate step to achieve that."

Their relationship began as they both attended Central Florida.

"She graduated with a double degree," Marshall said proudly. "She's awesome. She balances me out and keeps me going."
