The Pro Bowl is going to be a little different this year. For the first time ever, team will not comprise of the AFC vs. the NFC. The two captains, NFL legends Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders, will select team members via a draft. It's being billed as the ultimate fantasy football.
But there's something making it a little more of a fantasy.
Deion Sanders is back! Prime Time himself announced on Twitter Sunday that he's planning on suiting up in Hawaii.
Ladies and Gentlemen I am officially announcing "I WILL SUIT UP IN HAWAII" Please let @JerryRice know that a real captain leads by example!

Sanders even told Arizona Cardinals defensive back Patrick Peterson he has to choose another number for the game because 21 is taken.
@RealPeterson21 u may have to wear another number in the pro bowl for #teamDeion because your Captain may play in the #Probowl! WHAT!!!

This could all be scare tactics to throw Rice off guard, but they have to do something to boost the Pro Bowl ratings, right?
Now, before you go getting the popcorn ready, according to Pro Football Talk via For The Win, Sanders "won't be playing in the all-star game" according to a league spokesman.
Party poopers.
