3. Pro Bowl rosters revealed: 49ers lead way with nine players

There will be 88 players in Orlando for this year's Pro Bowl, and those players were revealed on Wednesday night when the NFL announced the official rosters for both the AFC and NFC. The rosters were decided with input from fans, players and coaches, with each group counting one-third toward the vote.
Here are a few nuggets about this year's Pro Bowl rosters:
  • 49ers have the most Pro Bowlers. The 49ers had nine players named to the initial roster, which was two more than any other team (The Ravens and Cowboys both had seven players). Not to be outdone, the Dolphins and Eagles both had six players named to the Pro Bowl. One thing to keep in mind is that if any team makes the Super Bowl, their players will NOT be participating in the Pro Bowl Games.
  • Party like it's 1999. Not only are Tua Tagovailoa and Brock Purdy both headed to the Pro Bowl for the first time, but they've also been named the starting quarterbacks in the game. This marks the first time that each conference will have a first-time Pro Bowler at starting QB since the 1999 season (2000 Pro Bowl) when Kurt Warner (NFC) and Peyton Manning (AFC) were in the game. Tua was one of three AFC quarterbacks selected for the Pro Bowl, joining Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. In the NFC, Purdy will be joined by Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford.
  • Rookie party at the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl will feature 28 players who have been selected for the first time, including five rookies: Sam LaPorta, Marvin Mims, Puka Nacua and Devon Witherspoon.
  • Holy Hill. Tyreek Hill has been in the NFL for eight years and he's made the Pro Bowl every season, which makes him the first receiver in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons.
  • Four teams got shut out. There were 28 teams that had at least one Pro Bowl representative, which means there were four teams that got shut out. Those teams were the Packers, Patriots, Commanders and Panthers.

Parsons pass rush compilation from last few weeks.

Awesome, especially what he does to Bills #79 on two plays at 33 seconds or so.

Overcame a major injury for sure. Season got off to slow start but he has been pretty good the last 3 or 4 games.
