That was one of the few things I enjoyed about Pro-Bowl weekend. What year did they stop doing this?

If I had to guess it was when New England's RB ended his career in ESPN's Beach Football game. I agree it was the best part of the weekend. Especially the QB challenge.

As it turns out, the Skills Competition was last held in 2007. According to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, a “[c]ombination of factors led us to discontinue, including logistics such as the field we conducted it on at the players’ hotel no longer exists.” (Aiello explained that the hotel has taken the field back for other uses.)
The league last conducted a rookie flag football game on the beach in Hawaii in 1999. That was the year Patriots running back Robert Andrews Edwards shredded his knee so badly that, at one point, amputation of his foot was a possibility.
