NFL Pro Bowl

By DJ Harding

After a player meeting and rule changes they have now changed the Pro Bowl. Instead of a tackle football game the week will now consist of a week of events ending in a Flag Football game at Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas. Some Events will be on ESPN Thursday February 2nd from 7-8:30pm ET and then the Flag Football game along with more skills games on Sunday February 5th from 3-6 pm ET on ESPN and ABC.

Along with this the NFL also announced the Pro Bowl Rosters headlined by The Philadelphia Eagles who led all teams with 8 selections followed by the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs at 7. The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers at 6 and Minnesota Vikings with 5. Geno Smith became the first Quarterback since Rich Gannon (1999) to become a first time pro bowler in year 10 or later. Trent Williams leads all players in career selections with 10. Closely followed by Aaron Donald who has 9 and became the only interior lineman to make the pro bowl in all of his first 9 seasons. Tyreek Hill has a similar feat with 7 selections in his first 7 seasons joining A.J Green as the only receivers to do that. Here are the Full Pro Bowl Rosters.
