The NFL along with players have been trying to come up with ways to change the and add 

excitement to the Pro Bowl, So they decided to have San Diego Chargers (Now The Los Angeles 

Chargers) quarterback Philip Rivers throw dodgeballs at opponents. 

Moving the Pro Bowl to Florida this year instead of having it in Hawaii, they are having a traditional 

AFC-NFC exhibition game, the NFL has decided to bring back the skills challenge, with some 

activities that might be closely resembling what the NBA does with its skills competition.

Some of the competitions that will be seen are as follows, drone drop, power relays, and dodge ball. 

As part of Pro Bowl Week at Disney's Sports Complex.

Keeping it weird, 20 players representing the NFC and AFC go head-to-head in dodge ball. 

There still are some regular challenges for the athletes such as the quarterback challenge and a hands 

competition for receivers.
