On December 20 the National Football League revealed the players that have been chosen to participate in the annual Pro Bowl game.
The game is scheduled for a 3pm start on January 28 – one week before Super Bowl LII – at Camping World Stadium in a return to Orlando, Florida. The game has returned to the AFC vs NFC format.
Players chosen for the teams were selected via votes from footbal fans, team mates, and coaches. This time around there are 24 first Pro Bowlers including four rookie players.
The Pittsburgh Steelers led the list of players to make the team with eight of the 86 total players – offense, defense, and special teams. The New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles each have six players heading to the Pro Bowl.
The roster of players who actually make the trip will change as the playoff and Super Bowl teams are determined. The as yet to be named coaching staffs will come from the losing teams in the Divisional Playoffs with the best regular season record.
The 2018 Por Bowl Legends Captains are Derrick Brooks and Warrick Dunn for the NFC with Jason Taylor and La Dainian Tomlinson for the AFC. The former Por Bowlers will also serve as team mentors and be a part of the sideline crew during the game.
