NFL eliminated traditional AFC-NFC Pro Bowl matchup; will be replaced with Pro-Bowl fantasy-like draft, per ESPN sources.

Now players will be assigned to teams through the Pro Bowl Draft (really). Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will be draft captains.

No more kickoffs in Pro Bowl. Rosters will consist of 43 players per squad. Game will be played Jan 26 in Honolulu.

I hope the televise the draft. If players do it all, the actual draft could be more entertaining than the game.

Precursor to the elimination of kickoffs in all NFL games.

So now Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice will determine who is in the Pro Bowl?

OR is the voting being done as usual, and then they pick from the voted in pool?
