Players whose teams are competing in the Super Bowl do not participate in the Pro Bowl, which is now held a week before the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl is essential in enabling the league to test out prospective rule adjustments. Pro Bowl votes are also considered when a player is arguing his case for acceptance into the Hall of Fame after his career.
On Wednesday night, the complete Pro Bowl squads for 2023 were made public. With eight players chosen, the Philadelphia Eagles had the most picks. With seven selections each, the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs came in second.
Miles Sanders, A.J. Brown, Jason Kelce, Landon Dickerson, Haason Reddick, Lane Johnson, and Darius Slay will join Jalen Hurts from the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanders, Reddick, Hurts, and Dickerson got their first Pro Bowl selections. Johnson had his fourth, Slay his fifth, and Kelce his sixth. Reddick and Sanders were chosen as backups.

The occasion will take place in Las Vegas. On Sunday, February 5, 2023, the Pro Bowl selections will play a flag football match.
Performances of some Pro Bowlers from the Eagles
Four of the eight Eagles who made the Pro Bowl did so for the first time. Jalen Hurts, the team's first option at quarterback, and perhaps the best dual-threat player in the league, established himself in the MVP discussion.
Sanders is Jalen Hurts' partner in the backfield. He is one of many Eagles stars having a great year. Sanders is enjoying, arguably, the best NFL season of his career so far. This season, he has established career-high numbers in rushing yards - 1,110 and rushing touchdowns - 11. Given that three-fifths of the Eagles' offensive unit were chosen for the Pro Bowl, it is not surprising that Hurts and Sanders have had such successful seasons when they are positioned behind such a unit.
