Wilson played the entire first quarter and part of the second en route to completing eight of 12 passes for 164 yards and no interceptions. “But to be here, I’m grateful as can be”.
The teams were drafted and captained by Hall of Fame wide receivers Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice.
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston then connected on two touchdown passes of his own for Team Irvin, before Tyrod Taylor ended the scoring for Team Rice with a 31 yard hook up to Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry.
Meanwhile, All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman played a little offense too-running a laughable reverse for -22 yards. The NFL stipulates that the head coach of each team chooses a “need” player, and those players must be long snappers. He threw one interception, but gave up two interceptions, which was his biggest blemish of the night. Four of them – running back Latavius Murray and defensive end Khalil Mack, in addition to Cooper and Carr – have three or fewer seasons in the NFL. Kuhn caught three passes for 17 yards. His first was a 2-yard pass to Philadelphia running back Darren Sproles late in the second quarter.
The over/under for tonight’s NFL Pro Bowl between Team Rice and Team Irvin has dropped significantly ahead of the 7:00PM ET kickoff. And on Saturday, the one Patriots player who was still committed to play, last year’s Super Bowl hero cornerback Malcolm Butler, also withdrew citing a knee injury. This was Team Irvin’s third straight victory in the non-conferenced era-since 2013-of the Pro Bowl.
“It’s special, for sure”, said Robinson, who is joined by Atlanta’s Julio Jones, Houston’s DeAndre Hopkins and Cincinnati’s A.J. Green on Team Irvin. “The new format brought a fresh excitement to the Pro Bowl Draft and game”. Cox is the 41st former Vol to be selected to the Pro Bowl.
