Will Pro Bowlers Pound Their Real Teammates?

It’s been a couple of days of playing Fantasy Football for Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders.  They have picked most of their players for this Sunday’s Pro Bowl and gotten a lot of publicity doing it.  The league wanted to spice up the Pro Bowl and so far they’ve gotten what they wanted.

Now the big question remains, are the players going to be willing to beat up on their real teammates.  For instance when Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, who is on Team Deion, takes a handoff are Chiefs defenders Justin Houston and Brandon Flowers, who are on Team Rice going to be willing to pound him.

Will Chiefs defensive tackle Dontari Poe lower the boom on Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith if he gets the chance, while knowing that he could be ruining his team’s future?

Will Colts defensive end Robert Mathis, who is on Team Rice, take down his real Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who is on Team Deion ?

Bears cornerback Tim Jennings will get the chance to hit his Bears teammates wide receiver Brandon Marshall and running back Matt Forte.  If Jennings get a chance to put a ferocious hit on either one of them. Will he?  How hard will he hit them?

Will there be a noticeable difference between the way players hit their real teammates and how they hit other guys, who play for other teams?

This is the big question surrounding the Pro Bowl.

There are four Eagles players in Hawaii representing Philadelphia in the game.  You’ve got running back LeSean McCoy(4th pick) and left guard Evan Mathis  on Team Rice and wide receiver DeSean Jackson (39th pick) and quarterback Nick Foles (46th pick) was the next to the last selection before the final pick who was Kansas City’s Alex Smith.

Mathis was picked on the first day by Rice, who also grabbed a couple of New Orleans Saints guards Jahri Evans and Ben Grubbs.
