Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks were both named on Tuesday as representatives of the NFC in the 2019 Pro Bowl Skills Showdown.
To top it all off, Hall of Famer and former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher will serve as one of the NFC’s team captains.
An interesting storyline could be the squaring off of two quarterbacks from the 2017 draft class: Trubisky and Houston Texans signal-caller Deshaun Watson. With the two having been compared constantly since they were drafted, this event should serve as a fun and lighthearted way to see how they fare against each other.
