The signature kickoff event of Super Bowl week, the Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 25, 2015 as an “unconferenced” game for the second consecutive year. Last season, the familiar AFC vs. NFC matchup that existed since 1971 was transformed into a new and totally fan-inspired format for the game. Instead, players are selected without regard to conference in voting by fans, coaches and players. Each group’s vote counts one-third toward determining the 86 All-Star players who will be selected in the Pro Bowl Draft. Two additional “need” players will be chosen by each head coach and must be long snappers. For example, the top six quarterbacks following voting earn distinction as All-Stars, regardless of how many are from AFC or NFC teams. Then, the NFL’s All-Stars will be realigned through a fantasy football-style draft led by this year’s Pro Football Hall of Famers Chris Carter and Michael Irvin, who are serving as alumni team captains for their Pro Bowl squads – Team Carter and Team Irvin – and have the final say in the proceedings.Pro Football Hall of Famers John Randle (Team Carter) and Darren Woodson (Team Irvin) will serve as defensive co-captains. The NFL legends will also each be assisted by two active player captains and two Lenovo Fantasy Coach of the Year winners in the draft process.

Watched by 11.4 million viewers in 2014, the Pro Bowl is the most-watched all-star game in all of sports the past four years. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its all-star teams. It was the first professional sports league to offer online all-star voting in 1995. Take a look at highlights from last year’s Pro Bowl by following this link here.
