Overview

  • The NFL announced Sanders’ arrival in San Francisco for the Pro Bowl, with league materials listing only Joe Flacco and Sanders as the AFC quarterbacks.
  • Sanders was added after Maye advanced to the Super Bowl, filling a spot opened by withdrawals and injuries among initially named selections.
  • The rookie completed 56.6% of his passes for about 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in eight games, going 3-4 as a starter.
  • Reaction split, with Michael Irvin suggesting the move boosts attention to the event as Deion Sanders emphasized coaches and players carry most of the vote.
  • GM Andrew Berry noted progress for Sanders and signaled an offseason study of external options, as coach Todd Monken voiced support in a facility greeting.
