Last night Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice drafted their Pro Bowl rosters for this Sunday’s Pro Bowl game. In typical Michael Irvin fashion, all five Dallas Cowboys selected to the all-star game ended up on Team Irvin.
Tyron Smith, Zack Martin and Travis Frederick will be joined by David DeCastro, Marshal Yanda, Brandon Albert, Andrew Whitworth and Alex Mack. It’s pretty crazy that the starting Cowboys offensive line is pretty close to on-par with this Pro Bowl offensive line.

Sean Lee will be in the middle of the Team Irvin defense, with NaVorro Bowman, Lavonte David, Derrick Johnson and Anthony Barr joining him at linebacker. That is an absolute dream of a linebacker core.
Dan Bailey is the lone kicker for Team Irvin.
Did you want the Cowboys to draft Todd Gurley? Of course you did.
Well, you can get as close as you most likely ever will to seeing Todd Gurley run behind the Cowboys offensive line, when Gurley joins Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman as the running backs that will be running behind the likes of Tyron Smith, Zack Martin and Travis Frederick.
Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Teddie Bridgewater will be receiving snaps from Travis Frederick, another dream scenario for those that had hoped the Cowboys could have drafted Winston or Bridgewater in the two previous NFL Drafts.
The Team Irvin wide receiver core is absolutely astounding, with Julio Jones, A.J. Green, Deandre Hopkins and Allen Robinson as the primary pass catchers.
Where Team Rice makes its mark is on defense. The defensive line for Jerry Rice’s team is composed of Aaron Donald, Fletcher Cox, Gerald McCoy, Cameron Jordan and Everson Griffin. Tyron Smith, Zack Martin and Travis Frederick will definitely have their hands full.
The Pro Bowl will be televised live from Honolulu, Hawaii Sunday, January 31 on ESPN at 9PM EST/8CST.
