The Pro Bowl is the perfect time to reunite a bunch of superstars and have some fun after a long season. The league has completely changed the rules for the Pro Bowl this year, making it a flag football game due to fans' interest diminishing throughout the last decade.
One of the superstars present on the sidelines was Pete Davidson, the actor and comedian from Saturday Night Live. He did an interview with ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III and, to put it mildly, had an interesting way of defining the NFL superstars he was watching.
"These guys are huge and very, very nice. It's just cool, man, it's a surreal thing to be at. I'm having a really great time."
Just as he was answering Griffin's question, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw a laser pass for a touchdown.

Davidson also had time to joke with Griffin about his mission in the game.
"[My responsibility is] pretty much I dress Eli. He wore it in the locker room, and when he came out, he took it off and that really hurt my feelings. But, yeah, my job is just not being in the way."
Why is the 2023 Pro Bowl so different?
It's the least interesting All-Star game of all the major leagues, mainly because there's no reason for the players to go hard with their bodies in a meaningless game.
The 2022 Pro Bowl attracted just 6.69 million viewers across all media - the lowest in 16 years.
The league decided to change it to an event called "The Pro Bowl Games", where two teams headed by Peyton and Eli Manning compete in a flag football game among other attractions.
The 2023 Pro Bowl is being held at the Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Derek Carr was a late addition to the AFC roster in what felt like a farewell to Las Vegas fans as he looks to be traded ahead of the offseason.
