The Pro Bowl has been reimagined this year.
Now called the Pro Bowl Games, the all-star event has switched to a flag football format and now includes several skills challenges that add up points for each conference going into the flag football game on Sunday.
Many of the skills challenges took place on Thursday evening, including the #BestCatch event that featured Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain.
Surtain caught a pass while on the “Zoomline” zipline on the Las Vegas strip. The ball was thrown by former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart. Check out the video, courtesy of the Broncos’ official Twitter page:
