The Pro Bowl generates not much interest. The revealing of the Pro Bowlers generates slightly more.
On Tuesday night, the NFL yanked the sheet off the 2014 Pro Bowlers. The two teams, captained by Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Cris Carter, will be determined in the days preceding the game — an effort to generate more interest for a game that generates not much.
The players who have qualified for the game appear after the jump. Inevitably, players who have qualified won’t play in the game, due to injury or to “injury” or to qualifying for another game to be played a week later.
