Lightning Round
A newly minted elimination challenge, lightning round pits players in three separate events. A water balloon toss, “high stakes” Jugs machine punt-fielding competition, and a final round allowing players to sink the opposing coach and earn three points for their conference.
Longest Drive
Four players from each conference will have the opportunity to drive a golf ball as far along the fairway off the tee as they can. The player who drives the ball the furthest will earn three points.
Precision Passing
As they have in years past, each quarterback will take part in a one-minute accuracy competition. The quarterback with the highest score will earn ten points for his conference.

Best Catch (1st Round)
Two players from each conference will participate in the best catch competition, displaying their imagination and creativity. The players will showcase their greatest receptions in highlight clips taken at renowned places across Las Vegas in the opening round on Thursday.
Pro Bowl Events – February 5th
The rest of the Pro Bowl events will wrap up on Sunday from sunny Las Vegas. Starting at 3:00 pm EST with the Best Catch finale beginning festivities, and the Pro Bowl flag football game closing out the week’s events.
Best Catch (Finale)
A panel of celebrity judges will determine the event’s winner on Sunday.
Gridiron Gauntlet
Six players from each conference will participate in a side-by-side relay race demonstrating speed and agility to see who finishes first and earns three points for his team.
Move the Chains
Four teams will attempt to move a weighted wall ten yards as quickly as possible. Using first-down chains each team will aim to get their wall across the finish line.
Kick Tac Toe
Special teams will be on display as each team’s kicker, punter and long snapper will showcase their skills. Each team will attempt to hit a connecting line of three squares to earn their team points.
Pro Bowl Flag Football Game
Finally, three flag football games will decide the winning conference for the Pro Bowl games.
