It was an eventful week in Orlando as the NFL hosted its annual All-Star week during the Pro Bowl. Over the years, the event has evolved from a full-fledged game to its modern iteration, featuring a series of skills competitions that culminated in a flag football game.
The Oklahoma Sooners were well-represented even though Creed Humphrey and Trent Williams didn’t make the trip as they prepare for Super Bowl LVIII. Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, CeeDee Lamb, and Marvin Mims were participants this week, and Mayfield made the most of it.
Mayfield, who had a resurgent season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, won the accuracy competition and was named the game’s MVP after leading Eli Manning’s NFC squad to a comeback win over Peyton Manning’s AFC.
Along the way, Mayfield through a touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb and the two nearly connected for another highlight-worthy play late in the game, but Lamb was unable to get both feet down in bounds.
It was a memorable week for the Sooners that serves as a precursor to Sunday’s Super Bowl, which features six Oklahoma Sooners, the most of any college football program in the country.
