The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will officially get underway on Thursday night beginning with the Skills Show between the AFC All-Stars and the NFC All-Stars.
New York Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and wide receiver Malik Nabers, who was added to the Pro Bowl roster earlier this week, will be among those participating.
Lawrence will be up first, joining teammates Chris Lindstrom (Atlanta Falcons) and Frank Ragnow (Detroit Lions) in “The Big Spike.”
Linemen look to spike footballs onto a machine that measure power and impact. Three points will be awarded to the winning team.
That trio will take on the AFC’s Rashawn Slater (Los Angeles Chargers), Quinnen Williams (New York Jets), and Joel Bitonio (Cleveland Browns).
Participating in this event is a good sign for Lawrence, who was lost for the season after suffering a dislocated elbow in late November.
In the very next event, Nabers will join 11 other NFC stars in the “Relay Race” against the AFC’s team of 12.
A simultaneous relay-style event where four players from each conference complete a 40-yard dash before handing a football to the next athlete on their team, continuing until the fourth and final leg crosses the finish line. The conferences will compete in three rounds, with the fastest team winning. Three points will be awarded to the winning team.
For the third straight season, Giants legend Eli Manning will serve as head coach of the NFC All-Stars.
