The top vote-getters on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball from the AFC and NFC get the honor of serving as team captains and working with the alumni coaches to select the rosters for this year’s game.

The four captains are Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray, Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden, and Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt.

Serving as the alumni coaches are Pro Football Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Michael Irvin.

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle (Team Carter) and Darren Woodson (Team Irvin) will serve as defensive co-captains for their former teammates.

The second-annual Pro Bowl Draft will take place on January 21. The Pro Bowl itself will be aired  live on ESPN at 8:00 p.m. ET from University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, which is also the site of this year’s Super Bowl.

A coin toss will be held at the Pro Bowl Kickoff Press Conference on Tuesday morning, January 20, to determine which team will hold the first pick.
