Pride of Detroit
Come check out when you can watch the Lions Pro Bowler participate in events.
The 2025 Pro Bowl Games begin on Thursday night, and there will be six Detroit Lions players in attendance: quarterback Jared Goff, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, center Frank Ragnow, tackle Taylor Decker, safety Brian Branch, and punter Jack Fox.
On Wednesday, the NFL released the event details of the 2025 Pro Bowl, which features some brand-new competition that could be at least mildly entertaining for any football-starved Lions fans. They also announced the participants for each event.
Here are the competitions you can see Lions players take part in starting on Thursday night.
Note: Remember that Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell withdrew from the Pro Bowl due to injuries
