Mack has been voted to the Pro Bowl five straight times, and this will be Smith’s first. Mack also made the Pro Bowl last season, in his Chicago debut, and chose not to participate, as well.
The Bears will have three other players representing them at the Pro Bowl. Safety Eddie Jackson, cornerback Kyle Fuller and kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson will be in Orlando for this week’s festivities.
The Pro Bowl will take place this Sunday, January 26 at 2:00 p.m. CT from Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. You can watch in on ABC, ESPN and Disney XD.
