The 2016 Pro Bowl will preview the new layout that they have been using for the past few years. Some of the new features include new rules, such as there are 2 minute warnings at the end of each quarter, and possessions change at the start of each quarter.

They also decided to change the way teams are created. Instead of the conference being the deciding factor, they made it a draft, basically a true fantasy draft. The people drafting the teams are retired players who will serve as the captains of the team. This year the captains are Michael Irvin, and Jerry Rice.
