After winning the coin toss Tuesday, NFL great Jerry Rice picked New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees and St. Louis defensive end Robert Quinn for his Pro Bowl team.
That means Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles are on Deion Sanders’ team.
Since Rice chose the captain group, Sanders’ team will have the first pick in Tuesday and Wednesday night’s drafts. Both night’s drafts begin at 8 p.m. ET.
The draft is part of a format change decided upon last July in an attempt to revitalize the NFL’s annual all-star game.
As the alumni team captains, Rice and Sanders will have a say in which players end up on the two teams. Unlike previous years, there will be no NFC or AFC squads.
The player captains will help Rice and Sanders pick the Pro Bowl teams.
The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Jan. 26 in Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.
