NFL: 2021 Pro Bowl roster revealed
The NFL released its 2021 Pro Bowl roster on Monday night.
Rosters for both the AFC and NFC were released, with some expected names, some shocking picks, and of course several snubbed players as well.
It is important to note that this coming Pro Bowl will be much different from what fans are used to. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged the world and the league, this year's Pro Bowl won't be played on the field but will instead take place through a Madden video game simulation.
The 2021 Pro Bowl was originally scheduled to be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Now, the league will have a week-long virtual event for the 2021 Pro Bowl.
Players who are selected for the Pro Bowl still get the honor on their resume and any contract bonuses that come with being chosen as a Pro Bowler. None of them will play in the game itself, but their Madden characters will take their place.
