Pro Bowl Week

The Pro Bowl will take place Sunday January 29 at 8PM ET at the Orlando Citrus Bowl. The game caps a week of fun. The NFL is doing the Pro Bowl a little differently this year. Well, Pro Bowl Week is being done a little differently this year. There are loads of events/activities taking place in and around Orlando. The NFL doesn't do anything small.

There will be youth football clinics, the NFL flag football championships, sessions for coaches, the Women's World Football Games, a Women's Careers in Football Forum, Special Olympics Flag Football, a 5K Run, and loads of other football fun.

Somehow there's time for player practices.

The NFL added some skills competitions this year. The 2017 Pro Bowl Skills Showdown will pit AFC and NFC All-Stars against each other in a series of competitions. Each team will feature a mix of Pro Bowl quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs. It looks like everybody but kickers and punters take part. That's not right. Kickers and punters have feelings.

Here are the events.

Best Hands
Quarterback and wide receiver duos from each team will show off their skills, connecting on as many pass attempts as possible before time runs out.

Epic Pro Bowl Dodgeball
Pro Bowlers will compete in a game of dodgeball.

Power Relay Challenge
Four team members will compete in a timed relay race.

Precision Passing
Two players on each team will battle it out, trying to hit moving targets of varying size and distance.

Pro Bowl Skills Showdown will air on ESPN, January 26 at 7PM EST.

I'm going with Larry Fitzgerald in the Best Hands Competition.
The Dodgeball game should be epic.

Then there's the game. The 2017 Pro Bowl.
