LAS VEGAS — For the first time, the NFL purposefully scrapped the Pro Bowl game in favor of a series of games that the players selected to the Pro Bowl competed in on Thursday. The first Pro Bowl Games were held at Raiders Headquarters in Las Vegas with a wide range of challenges for players to participate in. Dodgeball, kick tac toe, precision passing and splash catch were some of the activities held on the field.

The unorthodox nature of the activities led to some really competitive moments. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had an incredible last stand in dodgeball, making elusive moves that should be studied if"The Matrix" decides to continue on the reboot wave that’s taking over streaming services.

“I was at home down in Florida when I got the call,” Huntley said. “I went to running around my pool after that. I wasn’t expecting that, I only played in six games! I feel like it’s a blessing, it’s crazy.” Outside of the dodgeball match, the precision passing event was the most competitive event Thursday. Each of the three quarterbacks on the AFC and NFC teams took turns trying to hit a combination of moving and stationary targets through the air. The more difficult the perceived throw was, the more points were awarded to each team. Huntley joined Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and soon to be former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr on the AFC.
