2018 Pro Bowl Players Announced
The NFL announced the AFC and NFC All-Stars for the 2018 Pro Bowl, which kicks off at a new start time of 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, Jan. 28, and will be televised live from Camping World Stadium on ESPN and ESPN Deportes and simulcast on ABC.
The Pro Bowl players were determined by the votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group's vote counted one-third toward determining the 86 Pro Bowl selections. Each conference’s head coach will select two additional "need" players who must be long snappers. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its all-star teams. In 1995, the NFL became the first professional sports league to offer online all-star voting.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and 11-time Pro Bowler Derrick Brooks, three-time Pro Bowler Warrick Dunn, Pro Football Hall of Famer and six-time Pro Bowler Jason Taylor and Pro Football Hall of Famer and five-time Pro Bowler LaDainian Tomlinson will serve as 2018 Pro Bowl Legends Captains.
Tomlinson (offense) and Taylor (defense) will lead the AFC, while Dunn (offense) and Brooks (defense) will lead the NFC. The four Legends Captains, who were selected to a combined 25 Pro Bowls, will serve as mentors for the Pro Bowl players and be on the sidelines during the game.
Twenty-four Pro Bowl players are first-time All-Stars, including four rookies – running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore of New Orleans, running back Kareem Hunt of Kansas City and special teamer Budda Baker of Arizona.
Twenty-seven teams had at least one player selected to the Pro Bowl, and 21 of those had multiple players chosen. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a league-best eight players selected, while the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles led the NFC with six players each.
The 2018 Pro Bowl coaching staffs will be from the losing teams from the AFC and NFC Divisional playoffs that had the best regular-season records.
Under terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each player on the winning team earns $64,000, while each player on the losing side earns $32,000.
Tickets to the 2018 Pro Bowl are on sale now at ProBowl.com. Last year's event — the Pro Bowl's first time in Orlando — featured a sellout crowd of more than 60,000.
