No one knew it at the time, but the 2022 Pro Bowl was the last Pro Bowl that will be played in quite awhile.
The NFL announced Monday that it's doing away with the Pro Bowl in its current form, which has been played since 1951, and will replace it with The Pro Bowl Games, a week of skills competitions that will end with a flag football game.
NFL executive Peter O’Reilly told The Associated Press that the NFL has been looking for a Pro Bowl replacement for awhile, and after getting feedback from players, coaches, and general managers, the league chose this new direction to showcase the NFL's deep pool of talent.
