Additional Roster Information

As is always the case for the Pro Bowl now that it's a week before the Super Bowl instead of a week after, every player selected from the Eagles and Patriots won't be playing on Sunday in Orlando.

That includes the likes of Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, James Develin and Matthew Slater for New England and Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Zach Ertz, Carson Wentz (injured anyway), Fletcher Cox and Malcolm Jenkins for Philadelphia. 

Even the Eagles had a little fun on Twitter announcing none of their players would be playing in this year's game. 

In addition to the Super Bowl players, there's a handful of other NFL all-stars not playing in the Pro Bowl, including DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Travis Kelce, Khalil Mack, Julio Jones and Aaron Donald.

While some players won't be soaking up the sun in Florida, there are others up north who will be desperate for a reason to get away from the cold, which might be a big reason there are so many Steelers participating in this year's Pro Bowl. 

With a league-high eight Pro Bowl selections this season, Pittsburgh will be well-represented in Orlando this weekend. 

Voted into this year's Pro Bowl from Pittsburgh are Antonio Brown, Alejandro Villanueva, David DeCastro, Maurkice Pouncey, Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, Cameron Heyward, Ryan Shazier (injured) and Chris Boswell.
