Tom Brady has been selected to the Pro Bowl 14 times, yet he’s only made the trip to Hawaii to play in the game twice.
The Patriots quarterback usually has a good excuse to skip the all-star exhibition held on the Sunday between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. He’s had to prepare for eight Super Bowls, not including the upcoming Lombardi Trophy decider against the Los Angeles Rams.
