NFL eliminated traditional AFC-NFC Pro Bowl matchup; will be replaced with Pro-Bowl fantasy-like draft, per ESPN sources.

Now players will be assigned to teams through the Pro Bowl Draft (really). Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will be draft captains.

No more kickoffs in Pro Bowl. Rosters will consist of 43 players per squad. Game will be played Jan 26 in Honolulu.

It's official: Pro Bowl teams will be "drafted" @nflnetwork January 22. Kickoffs eliminated, possession changes at end of each quarter...

Adam Schefter reports the the NFL is going to re-do how the players are selected to the NFL Pro Bowl. Players will be chosen in a draft instead of the voting system the NFL players do.
Kickoffs are also eliminated. Only a matter of time until the regular season gets rid of the kickoff also, but that's just my opinion.
