How much do NFL players make for winning Pro Bowl? Breakdown of prize money at showpiece Las Vegas event

The 2023 Pro Bowl has become the talk of the town. Getting selected for the NFL's version of an All-Star affair is among the highest honors a player can receive.

The players are chosen by fans, league executives, and fellow players via a voting system. It serves as recognition of the training and hard work a player puts in behind the scenes as well as on the field during the season.

The annual event also incentivizes every player who partakes in the game after their NFL season ends. It's safe to say that winners are rewarded handsomely.

According to reports, every player on the winning team takes home a whopping $84,000. Meanwhile, players on the losing team individually receive $42,000.

For some players, the event could prove to be a hefty payday, making it worth participating in. Interestingly, the winners of the Pro Bowl will make more than the Super Bowl losers this year.
