The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will be the National Football League (NFL)'s all-star game for the 2024 NFL season. This will be the third year that the event will consist of skills competitions and a non-contact flag football game. The first block of skills competitions will take place on January 30, 2025, around various venues in Central Florida, while the flag football game and the other events will take place on February 2 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
Background
[edit]The NFL announced that Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, would be the site for the games after hosting it the year before. Previously, Camping World Stadium hosted the Pro Bowl from 2017 to 2020 (no game was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[1]
Format
[edit]The format will consist of various skill competition events and a 7-on-7 flag football game, with the first block of events having been held on January 30, 2025. On February 2, the remainder of the event program will take place at Camping World Stadium (the full Madden NFL 25 game will air on February 1 with clips being shown on Sunday).[2][3]
Rosters
[edit]The fan voting ran between November 25 and December 23, 2024, with rosters announced on January 2, 2025.[2][4][5] Three rookies were named to the initial roster: quarterback Jayden Daniels, tight end Brock Bowers, and outside linebacker Jared Verse. Later, rookie wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Malik Nabers replaced Zay Flowers and Amon-Ra St. Brown, respectively, after the latter two went down with injury. Later, rookie quarterback Drake Maye replaced Lamar Jackson, respectively, after the latter chose not to participate.

Thursday
[edit]Passing the Test
[edit]Passing the Test was an accuracy competition in which each quarterback from both conferences attempts to hit as many targets as possible in the given time, including six stationary targets and three moving targets. After all targets have been hit, the quarterback is allowed to hit it a second time for points. Quarterbacks attempt to hit targets for points until they are out of time. In order to determine how much time each quarterback has, they are matched with a Pro Bowl partner and asked to answer five trivia questions. Each quarterback starts with 40 and, for each correct answer, they were awarded 10 additional seconds.[8]
| Order | Quarterback | Team | Trivia partner | Team | Correct answers |
Total time | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Joe Burrow | CIN | Nico Collins | HOU | 2/5 | 60 seconds | 27 |
| 2 | Jared Goff | DET | Josh Jacobs | GB | 5/5 | 90 seconds | 44 |
| 3 | Drake Maye | NWE | Jonnu Smith | MIA | 4/5 | 80 seconds | 22 |
| 4 | Sam Darnold | MIN | Fred Warner | SF | 5/5 | 90 seconds | 39 |
| 5 | Russell Wilson | PIT | Myles Garrett | CLE | 5/5 | 90 seconds | 31 |
| 6 | Baker Mayfield | TB | Mike Evans | TB | 3/5 | 70 seconds | 27 |
