For the most part the NFL Pro Bowl is unwatchable. But there are some good moments in there. Hunter Renfrow supplied one in the third quarter for the AFC. And Raiders fans may recognize what he did to make the TD catch.
.@MacJones_10 on the run and @renfrowhunter with the toe tap?
Not too shabby.

Mac Jones rolled right, extending the play and saw Hunter Renfrow trying to make himself available to him. Jones made a clutch throw just around defenders and Renfrow made the catch in the back of the end zone.
Renfrow is known around the league for his route running. But for the Raiders, he’s also known for being the guy who will break off his route and get open when his quarterback tries to extend a play.
Here’s a good example in the team’s win over the Colts late last season:

This catch set the Raiders up for the game-winning score on a Daniel Carlson field goal to beat the Colts 23-20.
That wasn’t even the first time in that game that Renfrow broke off his route to get open for Carr on the run. He scored a touchdown earlier.
Carr to Renfrow gives the @Raiders the lead! #RaiderNation
