Pro Bowl format
For the third consecutive year, the Pro Bowl will feature a number of games and activities aimed to highlight the athletic prowess of the contestants and increase the entertainment value for fans and players alike. Low television ratings forced the league to move on from the traditional AFC vs. NFC football game and instead opt for a more light-hearted format.
It is unclear what skills competitions will be played on Thursday, but last year there was dodgeball, precision passing, best catch, closest to the pin, high stakes, snap shots, Madden, gridiron gauntlet, move the chains, tug-of-war, and kick tac toe. There may very well be new games this year, though. Sunday will feature a 7 vs. 7 flag football matchup that has replaced the 11 vs. 11 tackle football game of old.
Biggest snubs
There were only 88 Pro Bowl roster spots available, which means that plenty of deserving players were snubbed from making the team. Two of the most glaring snubs were two of the best quarterbacks this year. Jalen Hurts was again one of the top signal-callers, as he led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 13-3 record with both his arm and his legs. Additionally, Baker Mayfield proved that his Pro Bowl run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season was not a fluke, but he didn't receive the Pro Bowl nod this season. Mayfield even won the Offensive Player of the Game award in last year's Pro Bowl. Sam Darnold's emergence prevented either player from making it in the NFC.
Perhaps the biggest snub of all was Danielle Hunter. For whatever reason, Houston Texans pass rushers haven't gotten the recognition that they deserve. Maybe Will Anderson's star power has something to do with that, but Jonathan Greenard didn't make the Pro Bowl that he deserved to last season, but he did get the nod as a member of the Minnesota Vikings this year. Hunter was a Pro Bowler last season, but he didn't make the team with the Texans this year despite being even better. Hunter sacked the quarterback 12 times, and his 90 pressures leads the NFL.
Another unheralded player who should have been a Pro Bowler was Zach Allen, the defensive tackle on the Denver Broncos. Denver has arguably the top defense in football, but Jon Gruden has pointed out that the team is filled with unrecognized stars (although both Patrick Surtain and Nik Bonitto are in the running for the Defensive Player of the Year award), even going as far as to coin them “The Anonymous Crush.” Allen has been one of the key figures on this defense, wreaking havoc in both run defense and as a pass rusher.
Speaking of unheralded players who likely only didn't make the Pro Bowl because of a lack of name regnognition, Kaden Elliss was also robbed of the chance to play in the Pro Bowl. The off-ball linebacker does it all for the Atlanta Falcons. He racked up 139 tackles, 34 pressures, five sacks, three pass breakups, and an interception. Many fans also think that the wrong Detroit Lions safety was chosen in Brian Branch. Xavier McKinney made the Pro Bowl, but interception leader Kerby Joseph did not.
The Baltimore Ravens led the league with nine Pro Bowlers. The 15-1 Kansas City Chiefs, who happen to be back-to-back defending champions, only had five players named to the Pro Bowl. Both Trent McDuffie and Patrick Mahomes were not voted in. While this was far from Mahomes' best season, there still aren't many people out there who would question if he is the best player in football. A number of Pro Bowlers will drop out of the event because of injuries, Super Bowl appearances, or other reasons, which means some of these snubs will eventually be elected to the game.
