NFL Pro Bowl activities
The activities that will be broadcast on Thursday are referred to as the “Pro Bowl Skills Showdown.” It’s five different challenges where the players battle to see who is the best of the best.
There’s the “Precision Passing” contest, where quarterbacks and non-quarterbacks will compete to see who has the best accuracy.
Then there’s also the “Thread the Needle” competition, where quarterbacks will attempt to hit targets with defensive backs working to break up the pass.
Fans will also be treated to the “Best Catch” contest, which is similar to a dunk contest. Receivers will work to complete the most impressive catches for a panel of judges.
One contest that will likely garner a lot of attention is the “Fastest Man” competition. That’s exactly what it sounds like, players racing each other in a 40-yard sprint.
The final competition is not only a fan favorite, but a player favorite, and that’s “Epic Pro Bowl Dodgeball.”
Who doesn't love Dodgeball at the Pro Bowl?

While it’s great to see which players have the best football skills, nothing beats seeing elite athletes bring out their inner child and compete in this PE classic.
There will also be a ton of player interviews and possibly many more surprises. You never know what’s going to happen at Pro Bowl weekend but the fun starts Thursday night and finishes with the game Sunday afternoon.
