Biggest NFL Pro Bowl Records of All Time

This year’s NFL’s all-star game, the Pro Bowl, happened on the last day of January. The event has been around since 1938, when it was still called NFL All-Star Games. Its name changed in 1951 to Pro Bowl and many records have been broken since then. Here are some of the biggest Pro Bowl records of all time.

The player was even named the game’s Most Valuable Player because of his four touchdown receptions, breaking Jimmy Smith’s record from 2004.
