Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward is speaking out against the NFL’s new Pro Bowl format, which replaced the traditional tackle game with a series of skill competitions and a flag football game.
“Bring back the real Pro Bowl game!! Pass rushers need to eat,” Heyward tweeted.
Heyward’s comments echo the sentiments of many fans and players who have criticized the new format for lacking the physicality and competitiveness of the traditional game.
The NFL changed the Pro Bowl format in 2023, citing concerns about player safety and injuries. However, many players have expressed frustration with the new format, which they feel lacks the intensity and excitement of the traditional game.
Heyward’s comments are likely to spark a debate about the Pro Bowl format and whether it should be changed back to its traditional format.
