The NFL is dropping 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 continue to be named as Pro Bowlers to earn their annual honors.
Player honors will remain intact despite the elimination of the event. However, alternates will no longer be selected by the league. The ruling ends the 75 year history of the annual game, but top players will still receive their official Pro Bowl honors each season.
