The NFL is eliminating the annual Pro Bowl event after 75 years. The league is pulling the plug on the on-field contest, but top athletes will still be honored. Players will still be named as Pro Bowlers to earn their annual honors.
Player honors will stay in place despite the elimination of the event. However, backup selections will no longer be selected by the league. The move brings an end to the 75 year history of the annual game, but top players will still receive their official Pro Bowl honors each season.
