Peyton’s AFC coaching staff will be comprised of offensive coordinator Troy Walters (Bengals), defensive coordinator Frank Bush (Titans), and heads of player engagement Marcus Pollard (Jaguars) and Darrel Young (Steelers).
Eli’s staff, meanwhile, will be made up of offensive coordinator Thad Lewis (Buccaneers), defensive coordinator Larry Foote (Buccaneers), and heads of player engagement Mo Kelly (Seahawks) and Kevin Winston (Panthers).
The Pro Bowl Games will be held on two different days in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium this week. The skills competition, the NFL’s answer to the NBA skills competition or the MLB home run derby, will air on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. The AFC-NFC Pro Bowl flag football game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 3:00 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC.
This will be the third straight year that Peyton and Eli Manning are the head coaches for the AFC and NFC’s Pro Bowl flag football game. Younger brother Eli has won both matchups so far.
The only former Tennessee player selected to the Pro Bowl Games this year was Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith, who will not be participating due to an upcoming game in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.
With Peyton Manning involved in a competitive setting against his brother, you know that hilarity will continue to ensue as it has in the past two events. Here’s a look at what the Mannings will bring to the table in Orlando this weekend:
