Sunday’s Pro Bowl features most Alabama alumni in game’s history - AL.com

Sunday’s Pro Bowl will have more Alabama alumni than any NFL all-star game that has come before it. Seven former Crimson Tide standouts are in Orlando for the contest, and nine were picked for the Pro Bowl rosters.

Before this season's game, the most Pro Bowlers that Alabama has produced for one year had been six for the game that followed the 2016 season.

The Alabama alumni at 2019's game are Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper, Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, Ravens running back Mark Ingram, Chicago Bears free safety Eddie Jackson and Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly.

New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower and Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones were selected for the original rosters, but they withdrew from the game.

Fitzpatrick, Henry, Humphrey and Kelly will play in the Pro Bowl for the first time on Sunday, and they bring the number of former Alabama players who have been selected for the Pro Bowl, the AFL All-Star Game or the Pro All-Star Game that was played intermittently before the Pro Bowl started in 1951 to 43.

The Pro Bowl kicks off at 2 p.m. CST Sunday at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes and Disney XD will televise the game.
