Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley played in just six games during the 2022 season when he filled in for an injured Lamar Jackson during the second half of the year.
In those games, he had two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown; and with some players opting out of this week’s Pro Bowl, Huntley takes center stage. Huntley will fill in for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who will sit out due to injury but is ready for a golf tournament.
Huntley finished the season with 658 passing yards and 137 rushing yards in the games he played. He did enough to lead Baltimore to the playoffs and nearly helped the team defeat the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals in the wild card round. But his goal-line fumble turned out to be the difference-maker in that game.

He’s set to join a few other Ravens teammates at the Pro Bowl Games, which will take place in Las Vegas. Mark Andrews, Marlon Humphrey, Roquan Smith and Justin Tucker are expected to participate. Devin Duvernay was also named to the Pro Bowl roster, but had to withdraw due to injury.
The NFL announced during the year that the Pro Bowl Games would take the place of an actual contact game.
There are 10 total events for the Pro Bowl, with five on February 2 and the other five three days later.
Day 1 will consist of both a precision passing contest and a best catching contest, but that’s not where the fun begins.

There will also be a dodgeball tournament – round 1 will be the AFC offense against their defense, as well as the NFC offensive and defensive players. The winners will meet in the final. Four players from each conference will also take their golf clubs for a long-drive competition.
There will also be a blitz round consisting of three contests. The first is a water balloon toss, followed by catching punts from a football passing machine. The final part of the challenge is called «Thrill of the Spill», where players from each conference will aim for targets attached to a bucket that hangs over the coach of the opposite conference: the first team to dump the bucket on the other coach wins.
In addition to the 7-on-7 flag football games on Sunday, the catching contest will wrap up on Sunday. There are also two separate skills competitions, similar to the skills competition during NBA All-Star weekend, which will include tire races, block sleds, and other drill-like events. Conference punters and long snappers will also complete in a game of «Kick Tac Toe.»
