The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were one of four teams that had an NFL-best seven players selected as Pro Bowlers on Monday.
The Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers also had seven players honoured.
The designations are largely symbolic as the Pro Bowl, slated to be played January 31 in Las Vegas, previously was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, the NFL will team with EA Sports that week for matches on the Madden NFL 21 video game involving current and former NFL players, celebrities and streamers. Players chosen as this year's Pro Bowlers will square off on Madden in a simulation of the all-star game.
