One person reads the team and position and the rest guess the player. Swap roles each round so everyone gets to quiz.

Questions people ask

What is the Pro Bowl?

It is the NFL's all-star event, with rosters picked by a mix of fan, player and coach votes for each conference.

Why use Pro Bowl rosters?

They give a list of well-known, current players at every position, so the names are easy to recognize. Use the position filter to stay on one side of the ball.

What positions can I filter by?

Offense, defense and special teams spots such as quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback and kicker, depending on the roster.

How many players does an NFL team have on the field?

Eleven at a time on each side, so 22 players are on the field for every snap. Each side can make substitutions between plays.
