NFL Reportedly Discussing Major Change for Pro Bowl

Football’s premier all-star event could be in store for a makeover.

The NFL is reportedly considering making drastic changes to the Pro Bowl, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, going so far as to consider scrapping the actual game entirely in favor of a different player-centric event.

The league has talked with players and teams to come up with ways to improve the event, including removing tackling from whatever type of game is eventually settled on. There is no vote that needs to be held to approve changes, and the league aims to have a resolution by this summer, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
