VFLs Eric Berry and Morgan Cox will play in the 2016 Pro Bowl on Sunday at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Being picked first should give Wilson an outstanding chance at winning the game’s MVP award.
Team Irvin had the first overall pick in the fantasy draft, and it was no surprise when they called on Seattle Seahawks star Russell Wilson.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw three first-half touchdowns to help Team Irvin jump out to a 21-7 lead and cruise to a 49-27 win.
This format has generated more competitive games with teams selected strategically versus by fan vote.
Bridgewater completed six-of-eight passes for 129 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Down 14 at the half, Team Rice took the opening kickoff of the third quarter and drove for a touchdown, with Tampa Bay’s Doug Martin running it in from 3 yards out for the score. Even Michael Irvin, the pseudo general manager of Team Irvin, joked that he wants Yanda running some routes as a receiver. Koch won’t have his usual pinpoint accurate long snapper since Morgan Cox is on the other team (Team Rice), so Koch will have to adjust a bit. Wilson had 24 TD’s and only 1 interception over the last two months and he will lead Team Irvin using his arm to pass and legs to run, as only a QB like him can. Team Rice has arguably two of the best defensive linemen in the game as well, with Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack. Bridgewater also threw Team Irvin’s lone interception of the evening when he was intercepted by rookie Marcus Peters in the first quarter.
Wilson, who was the first player picked in the all-star game’s draft, was 8-for-12 for 164 yards. Three times during the drive, Manning converted on third down en route to hitting five of six passes for 71 yards.
Wilson said after the game that he would “never take for granted” any chance to play football.
While it was a little too later, Taylor inched Team Rice closer with a 31-yard score through the air to Jarvis Landry.
