WATCH: Jalen Hurts drops a wide open pass on ‘Philly Special’ during Pro Bowl Games

Twitter reacted to Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts dropping a wide open pass on a trick play, Philly Special attempt during the Pro Bowl games

In his defense, Hurts has a tape and a small brace on his injured middle finger, but he’s still going to hear the boos from this dropped pass during the Pro Bowl games.

Hurts got the start at quarterback during the Flag Football contest, and during the NFC team’s second possession, the Eagles All-Pro signal-caller dropped a ‘Philly Special’ attempt that ended badly.

Hurts nearly connected on the Philly Special 6 years ago to the day Nick Foles completed it to help the Eagles win their 1st Super Bowl over the Patriots.

Highlights from Day 1 of the Pro Bowl Games skills competitions

We’re looking at notes and highlights from Day 1 of the NFL’s Pro Bowl Skills competition

With the help of Peyton (Omaha Production) and Eli Manning, the Pro Bowl has been retooled and made kid friendly over the past two years.

Now called the Pro Bowl Games, the NFL’s all-star event has transitioned to a flag football format and also includes several skills competitions.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, cornerback Darius Slay, center Jason Kelce, running back D’Andre Swift and linebacker Haason Reddick participated in various events on night one.

The skills competitions kicked off on Thursday with five events, and more events will be held on Sunday leading into the flag football game (check out the full schedule of events for the Pro Bowl Games).

Here are all the highlights from the first round of skills competitions via the NFL.

Patrick Queen among 7 Ravens to to participate in these Pro Bowl events

The Ravens were the NFL’s best team during the regular season, and the AFC power was properly represented on the Pro Bowl team, with seven players named.

Baltimore’s Pro Bowlers were quarterback Lamar Jackson, linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Kyle Hamilton, defensive tackle Justin Madubuike, center Tyler Linderbaum, linebacker Patrick Queen, and kicker Justin Tucker.

It’s the first time for Hamilton, Madubuike, Queen, and Linderbaum – all players General Manager Eric DeCosta drafted.

The Pro Bowl Games get underway Thursday, and every player selected except Lamar Jackson will be participating in Pro Bowl skills challenges.

Lamar Jackson not on final Pro Bowl roster

The roster for the NFL Pro Bowl has been finalized with seven Baltimore Ravens players making the final cut. One notable missing name was quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Jackson seemingly opted out of playing in the Pro Bowl after initially being voted in. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew will take Jackson’s place in the Pro Bowl.

Jackson’s incredible season netted him first-team All-Pro honors for the second time in his career and a likely second MVP award. Given the competitor Jackson is, though, his final game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs is sure to leave a sour taste in his mouth for the rest of the offseason as he prepares for another shot at the elusive Lombardi Trophy. Jackson had a pair of turnovers in the AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, including a backbreaking interception in the endzone when he tried to fit a pass into triple coverage to tight end Isaiah Likely.

Individual awards seem to mean very little to the accomplished quarterback now so it does not come as a surprise that he will not be playing in this year’s Pro Bowl.

Eagles have two players named to Pro Bowl as replacements

The Philadelphia Eagles had Jalen Hurts and Darius Slay named to the Pro Bowl as replacements for Brock Purdy and Charvarius Ward

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and cornerback Darius Slay have been named to the NFC team for the 2024 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Fla. on Sunday.

As first alternates, Hurts will be replacing Brock Purdy, and Slay will be replacing Charvarius Ward as the 49ers will face the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.

The Pro Bowl Games replaced the traditional Pro Bowl, featuring a multi-day competition of skill games and flag football. The Pro Bowl Skills Show will be on Thursday, February 1 and the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday, February 4.

Ex-Giant Damon Harrison explains why Pro Bowl voting is a sham

Former New York Giants DT Damon Harrison explains why Pro Bowl voting — even player voting — is a complete and total sham.

Former New York Giants defensive lineman Damon “Snacks” Harrison, always a source of entertaining commentary, is at it again.

This time his target is Pro Bowl voting.

Harrison is likely picking up on the endless articles regarding Pro Bowl ‘snubs,’ revealing that players don’t take the voting process as seriously as the public thinks.

Several Giants, such as linebacker Bobby Okereke, running back Saquon Barkley, punter Jamie Gillan and special teamer Nick McCloud, were ‘snubbed’ this year in the voting which has several levels of voters, not just fans.

From the NFL:

Player selections were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward determining the all-star players who will be selected to this year’s Pro Bowl Games. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its Pro Bowl teams. NFL players and coaches voted on Friday, Dec. 29.

So, as you can see, this is strictly not just a fan exercise. Lots of room for cronyism and it seems merit is not held in as high a regard as suspected.
