Commissioner Roger Goodell indicated the league aims to preserve the Pro Bowl as a prestigious honor while moving away from staging an actual exhibition contest. Recent editions have seen more than 100 players named to the roster due to injuries and lack of interest among selected participants. The shift would likely redefine how the NFL celebrates its top performers.
