The 2025 Pro Bowl Games begin on Thursday night, and there will be six Detroit Lions players in attendance: quarterback Jared Goff, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, center Frank Ragnow, tackle Taylor Decker, safety Brian Branch, and punter Jack Fox.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the NFL released the event details of the 2025 Pro Bowl, which features some brand-new competition that could be at least mildly entertaining for any football-starved Lions fans. They also announced the participants for each event.<\/p>\n
Here are the competitions you can see Lions players take part in starting on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
