For the 33rd time in the past 36 seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be sending multiple players to the Pro Bowl. This year’s representatives for the black and gold include kicker Chris Boswell, edge rusher T.J. Watt, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Watt and Heyward were selected to the Pro Bowl for the seventh time in their careers. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick is going to the game for the fifth time. Boswell is taking his second trip to the Pro Bowl after kicking an NFL high 40 field goals this season.
The Pro Bowl isn’t what it used to be as the physical game was traded for a flag football game and skills showcase a few years ago, but it is still an honor to receive the recognition. This year’s Pro Bowl Games will be held in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, Feb. 2.
