Pro Bowl Draft 2016: Start Time, Roster Selection Process For Team Irvin And Team Rice
With the best of the NFL’s best assembled into one massive talent pool, Hall of Fame wide receivers Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin will pick their 2016 Pro Bowl teams Wednesday night, ahead of Sunday’s matchup at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Pro Bowl pool reached a full depth of 86 players this year due to 31 replacement stars filling in for either an injured player or a member of either the Carolina Panthers or Denver Broncos, who are resting up for Feb. 7’s Super Bowl 50 matchup.
But that should just make for even more intriguing picks as NFL Legends captains Irvin and Rice each look for their second victories as Pro Bowl head coaches. Rice’s squad took the very first matchup two seasons ago over Deion Sanders’ team when the NFL first changed up the Pro Bowl format, while Irvin bested Team Cris Carter last year with a 32-28 victory.
Each player listed below made the Pro Bowl by the combined votes of fans, players, and coaches, but they’ll go through one more filter as Rice and Irvin select their squads.
Draft Start Time: The selection process begins Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
