The NFL announced Tuesday that it will begin looking for ways to improve Pro Bowl Weekend in an effort to prevent injuries to participants and rekindle fan interest in the event. In order to do this, they have begun to analyze several ideas that could replace the game between the Pro Bowlers, which in recent years has become a real mess. And while Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL are brainstorming some options, here are a few ones we’ve compiled for JefeBet.
3. Let the Senior Bowl be played, managed by the Pro Bowlers
One of the most read options on social networks and even commented on by Pro Bowl regular wide receiver Jarvis Landry is that the Senior Bowl, or college All-Star Game, which is generally used to showcase top NCAA players to NFL teams, be run by the Pro Bowlers. This would greatly help young people to feel more confident during the engagement and competitiveness would be guaranteed.
2. Skills competitions combined with NFL Field Day
There is no doubt that the skills competitions between the players selected for the Pro Bowl is the life of the party. It’s always entertaining to watch the finest quarterbacks deliver precision passes or the best receivers make spectacular catches. And while last year’s 40-yard dash entered the festivities, many are asking to see NFL players compete in weightlifting, or high jump, or even a race among the fastest players. An endless number of skill competitions that could be on the horizon.
1. Great Madden tournament between the Pro Bowlers
The NFL has the opportunity to put on one of the best All-Star Games in the sport’s history. As all the players will be available after the end of the season, the league could recreate the great event that garnered notice last season, in which several of the most notable players on the circuit were measured in a competition of the iconic video game: Madden. With the participants freaking out during the matchups, more professional storytelling, and much bigger keys, the success of this event is more than guaranteed.
