With the 50 edition of the Super Bowl set to commence next Sunday between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, the rest of the leagues all stars will be living it up in attractive Hawaii for the 2016 Pro Bowl between team Jerry Rice and team Michael Irvin.
But the best part of the game was when Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston switched places with Frederick who took a snap and downed the ball. He threw touchdown passes of 14 and 2 yards to Falcons teammates Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman, respectively, in the opening quarter.

GIVING BACK: One of the biggest thrills for Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith was getting to spend some time with a young fan wearing his jersey from the Make A Wish Foundation after Friday’s Team Rice practice. Then less than two minutes later, Team Irvin answered that score with a touchdown pass of their own. Early in the second quarter, Team Irvin received another score, this one from running back TODD GURLEY as the rookie took a Wilson 10 yards into the end zone after breaking a tackle by Team Rice inside linebacker BOBBY WAGNER.
Bennett, a Seattle Seahawks defense end and member of Team Rice for Sunday’s Pro Bowl, did a little bit of everything at Friday’s 45-minute practice session on Oahu’s north shore.

Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman got a chance to play offense and promptly lost 22 yards on a reverse for Team Irvin in the third quarter. This format drew rave reviews and harsh criticism a year ago and nothing has really changed in the meantime other than the venue changing.
