Jason Kelce joined hordes of fans who were relieved upon hearing that the NFL would be doing away with the Pro Bowl. In its place, the league will be holding a skills competition and a flag-football game during the week. The center greeted the announcement with open arms and pitched his own ideas on Twitter.
From hot-dog eating competitions to Rob Riggle, the star seemed to have his perfect Pro Bowl replacement already figured out. Here's what he said in a series of tweets outlining his desires:

"Please tell me there’s a hot dog eating competition for OL/DL!! This is so awesome, the skill competitions were always more fun to watch anyways."
He went on to outline a list of competitions he would like to see:
"So many great opportunities. I hope the NFL branches out beyond football specific things. Spike ball tournament, ping pong, cornhole, dodgeball, chug offs/drinking games. This has been a missed opportunity by the nfl for so long. Love it!"
Lastly, he called for an obstacle course and plenty of jokes by Rob Riggle:
"Just setup a big wipeout course and have @RobRiggle commentate. Ratings would be through the roof!"
Riggle has already commentated on the show 'Holey Moley,' which features an over-the-top mini-golf competition also hosted by Steph Curry.
Jason Kelce's history with the Pro Bowl
The center has a distinguished history with the event as he's been selected to attend the Pro Bowl five times in his career. He is also a four-time All-Pro and a Super Bowl Champion. Jason Kelce has been with the Philadelphia Eagles since 2011.
Since 2011, the center has earned, at least, a 77 overall PFF score eight times. He blocked for and snapped the ball to quarterback Nick Foles during his unlikely run to win the Super Bowl, ultimately defeating Tom Brady in a shootout.
