There was some question as to whether Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow would attend and participate in the Pro Bowl this weekend. After all, Burrow was last seen overseas, and major names opt out of the Pro Bowl often, hence Patriots rookie Drake Maye suddenly being one of the players set to attend.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, making his first Pro Bowl appearance after his second career selection, took part in the "passing the test" competition, posting 27 points. The 2025 Pro Bowl Games event featured quarterbacks trying to hit targets at various distances around the field worth different point values in 40 seconds.
