Dodgeball, tug-of-war and a trivia contest are among the events that will make up the 2025 Pro Bowl Skills competition, the NFL announced Thursday.
AFC and NFC players selected for the Pro Bowl will compete in a 7-on-7 flag football game, which has replaced the traditional Pro Bowl game, on Feb. 2 in Orlando, Fla. But the weekend will be filled with a variety of fun and games.
On Jan. 30, the events begin with Passing the Test, which combines passing accuracy with player trivia. The Pro Bowl quarterbacks will try to hit as many targets as they can in 40 seconds. Before that, each will pair with a teammate to try to answer five questions about current players. For each right answer, the quarterback gets an additional 10 seconds to hit targets and score points.
Other contests throughout the weekend include Satisfying Catches, with a receiver, tight end and defensive back from each conference trying to navigate an obstacle course that includes football moves; a Relay Race, in which players take part in a 40-yard relay dash that requires them to hand the football to a teammate; and dodgeball, a three-round tournament with six teams participating, AFC vs. NFC style.
The Great Football Race features six players from each conference going relay-style to finish five challenges, including the sled push. And the Tug-of-War features five players on each side trying to pull the other team into a foam pit. The competition is best-of-three.
