This year they changed up the format slightly besides having the set AFC versus NFC. They decided to let two all time greats be captains and pick the teams. Those two captains are none other than Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice.
Maybe this will spark some interest in the game? If not Roger holla at me I have a great ideal about making the Pro Bowl a skills competition, I think it would work.
