Here’s a little more information on the events the skills showdown will have this year:
The skills competition has featured thrilling events testing the specific skills of football’s greatest players, including catching footballs dropped by remote-controlled drones. This year’s competition—er, showdown—includes the 40 Yard Splash (“a new challenge that puts teamwork to the test as players participate in a football-inspired take on a fire bucket brigade”), Gridiron Gauntlet (a football-inspired relay race), Precision Passing (self-explanatory), Best Hands (you get the drift), and EPIC PRO BOWL DODGEBALL (presented by Skittles).
I know the Pro Bowl gets a lot of hate but the skills challenge (sorry, Skills Showdown) is actually a lot of fun. I wish they would just make the Skills Showdown the actual Pro Bowl and get rid of the fake football game that nobody likes. But, oh well... it is what it is.
Are you watching, Panthers fans? Use this space to talk about the action if you are.
You know the drill.
This is now an open thread!
