It can be debated as to how much the Pro Bowl actually means anymore. Do the best players in the league really even end up playing in the game, whether it’s because they’re passed over entirely for ‘name’ players getting the nods on their legacy or because they’re backing out due to injury or participation in the Super Bowl?
That’s a legitimate discussion to have. But one of the values of the game that regular people don’t get to see is simply the opportunity for great players to learn from one another. In any other profession, this is the equivalent of a major conference, in which those from a similar skill set can gather and share their practices and how they achieve their success.
