The NFL Pro Bowl 2014 is getting ready to start up on Sunday and the All-Star game will feature some of the leagues best and brightest and it will be starting up at a time of 7:30 pm ET on Sunday, January 26 and the game will be live online with a stream from the NBC Live Extra and will be on TV from NBV at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The league added some new rules and tweaks to the game this season in the hopes of getting the players more into it and one of the biggest new changes is the team format, which did away with the NFC and AFC roster and now just have any player from any team playing alongside each other after the draft. Former NFL players Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders picked the teams and Jamaal Charles, Drew Brees, JJ Watt and Robert Quinn were the first four players selected and the coaches this season will be Chuck Pagano and Ron Rivera and it comes after both teams in the Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers made the playoffs as division winners.
Their quarterbacks in Andrew Luck and Cam Newton are on the same Pro Bowl team and the weather is expected to be near 80 degrees and the game will be handled by the usual broadcast team on Sunday Night Football with Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth. After the first set of picks, Luck and Newton were taken together, while Rice took LeSean McCoy and Jimmy Graham and that means Brees will be paired up with his superstar tight end.
Brees has some great targets in Larry Fitzgerald, Josh Gordon, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall as well as Graham and Tony Gonzalez at tight end and he will have a nice set of backs with McCoy, DeMarco Murray and Matt Forte. Sanders has Nick Foles as well we Newton and Luck, while the receivers include AJ Green, Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson and Antonio Brown, with Jason Witten and Jordan Cameron the tight ends. The backs for that team have Charles along with Eddie Lacy and Alfred Morris.
