The NFL Pro Bowl is going to look a little different this season. Instead of the usual AFC-NFC game between the 2 conferences, the league is instituting a series of events including flag football, skill competitions and more.
And, as usual, the best of the best in the league are selected (via voting) to make the trip. This time around, 2 former SEC quarterbacks will be taking part; former Alabama QB Jalen Hurts and former LSU QB Joe Burrow.

Both inclusions are no-brainers. Jalen Hurts has played like an MVP frontrunner this season, having tossed 22 touchdowns with 5 interceptions, 2 of which came while he was injured this past week.
Burrow, in turn, started the season slow but has since lit the league on fire, leading the Bengals to a 10-4 record with 3 games to play. Cincinnati has also won 6 games in a row thanks to Burrow’s strong efforts.
The Pro Bowl games are set for Feb. 5 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
