Former Cal football player Lorenzo Alexander was named the Defensive MVP of the 2017 Pro Bowl! Alexander preserved the AFC win when he picked off Kirk Cousins at the AFC two-yard line with just over one minute to play. Alexander finished with nine tackles (most of either team), an interception, and a pass breakup.
