The NFL Pro Bowl game is set to return on Feb. 6 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The game has taken on many forms over the years, including a virtual affair in 2021. However, criticism surrounding the selection process has remained a constant. With fans having a one-third say in the voting, many view the Pro Bowl as a popularity contest based on name recognition.
To some degree, that is how the Pro Bowl works. With players and coaches also having a vote, though, Pro Bowl rosters do involve players who aren't on the national radar as well.
