The NFL Pro Bowl is entering its 83rd season as this time of year is when players are told whether or not they will be representing their team in the event.
Some of the stand-out names who will be representing the AFC team include Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs), Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans), Tyreek Hill (Miami Dolphins) and Nick Chubb (Cleveland Browns). But it was the Washington Commanders who hit the headlines after a video was released of head coach Ron Riveria bringing his players into his office to tell them that they’d made the event.
Safety Jeremy Reaves was voted in for his first Pro Bowl, while punter Tress Way and defensive tackle Johnathan Allen will be taking part in their second, with the trio all expected to be starters for the NFC team.
