2015 Pro Bowl Selections Announced

If an NFL player doesn’t make it to the Super Bowl in February, another great opportunity is the Pro Bowl, which typically happens every year on the Sunday prior to the big game. The Pro Bowl is an all-star game where the best players in the NFL get a chance to showcase their talent. On Tuesday, the NFL announced the roster of players who were chosen. Selections to the Pro Bowl are based on votes by coaches, players, and fans and are reflective of the players who shined the most throughout the season. It is a great honor as only the best players in the league get chosen each year. Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Cris Carter will be coaching the two opposing teams for the 2015 Pro Bowl and they will draft players to their respective teams from the 86 offensive, defensive, and special teams players that were selected. The game will take place on January 25 in Glendale, Arizona. It’s a good time for ballers to kick back, have fun, and play with and against some of the best talent in the league. Plus it’s an all-expenses-paid trip to someplace warm in the middle of winter. Not too shabby. Here are all the players that were selected for the 2015 Pro Bowl.
