Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs told the world what he really thought about the quality of the first-ever Pro Bowl Games.
Jacobs was one of the high-performing NFL players who are trying out this new Pro Bowl format, which includes flag football, dodgeball, a balloon toss and other “physical skills day” competitive games.
With the games taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Jacobs didn’t have to go far to compete after making the AFC’s roster.
However, it doesn’t seem like the impending free agent is having all that good of a time with the new Pro Bowl format.
NSFW language to follow.

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it seems like Jacob would much rather be on a beach somewhere during his offseason than playing games in Vegas.
While the Pro Bowl Games might be fun for the folks watching them at home, it might not be the most exciting process for the players involved compared to, say, a weekend in Hawaii for a passive football game.
While the previous format might put more player at risk of injury in a full-contact football game, this new format might feel like a waste of time.
