Gone is the familiar AFC vs. NFC match-up that had existed since 1971. Instead, players were selected without regard to conference in voting by fans, coaches and players.
Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders then served as alumni team captains for their eponymously-named Pro Bowl squads – Team Rice and Team Sanders – to "draft" their squads for the annual all-star game in Hawaii.
