Although the field has become a bit diluted for various reasons, many of the top players in the NFL will still be in action for the 2016 Pro Bowl.
The All-Star Game generates less interest than similar events in other sports, partly due to the timing before the Super Bowl and otherwise because of the players actually involved.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau (h/t Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com), declined invitations to the event has led to a record number of 133 official Pro Bowlers. Those on the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos are still playing football that matters, while others have legitimate injuries.
