2019 Pro Bowl Skills Challenge Highlights: Russell Wilson dominates ‘Precision Passing’ competition

The 2019 Pro Bowl Skills Challenge took place in Orlando, FL on Thursday, as the NFC faced off against the AFC in a series of competitions for the right to win $7,500 apiece. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and linebacker Bobby Wagner were a part of this event, and it was the duo of Wilson and Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen that stole the show.

In the “Best Hands” round, Wilson and Thielen were flawless. Seven-for-seven at the specified stations, with Thielen making a terrific one-handed grab at the “leaping catch” mark, which featured a nine foot wall for QBs to throw over.
