The Pro Bowl squads have been announced this week before the best NFL players from each position will play an end of season game just prior to the Super Bowl.
The Pro Bowl has huge benefits for players, who usually will receive bonuses on their contracts for making the team, as well as elevating their stock if they are to become free agents in the near future.
Should players who are named to the squad play in the Super Bowl the following week, they are exempt from festivities, with alternates being named and ready to take their place.
