PREVIEW
Although it’s lost a bit of entertainment through the years, the Pro Bowl is doing the best it can to reel you in. The festivities started on Wednesday night on NFL Network as Irvin and Carter took the stage to select their teams. You can find full rosters here. Here are a few highlights from the “draft”:
- Team Irvin selected every Dallas Cowboys player in the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl.
- Andy Dalton (Team Carter), who got in after Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco opted out as an alternate due to the birth of his third child.
- Team Irvin was able to stash TEs Jimmy Graham and Jason Witten — Carter got Martellus Bennett and Greg Olsen.
BROADCAST NOTES

Whether or not you’ll want to tune in due to these new features or not — well, we’ll leave that up to you.
The “draft” format hasn’t been very popular with fans throughout the past two years. Can 2015’s Carter/Irvin pairing help give the league’s “pre-Super Bowl classic” a boost?
