Pro Bowl Players to be Unveiled Friday on NFL Network

In an attempt to spruce up the NFL Pro Bowl, the National Football League has declared this season’s contest to be “unconferenced” which means there won’t be players divided between AFC and NFC. The teams will be divided in a fantasy-type draft in January.

On Friday, NFL Network will unveil the players who made it into pro football version of the All-Star Game. Now this is an imitation of what the NHL tried to do a couple of times by introducing a fantasy draft and not have games drawn down conference lines.

The fantasy draft will take place on January 22 on NFL Network.

Here’s the NFL Network announcement.
