The NFL Pro Bowl will no longer be played between the AFC and NFC. Instead, players will be chosen regardless of their respective conference. Each position has a certain amount of players that will be selected, with the hope that the best players will make the game, no what conference they play in will. Further description of the new Pro Bowl voting and how the players will be split between Deion Sander's team and Jerry Rice's team is explained via http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot:
"The NFL's top two vote-getters on offense and defense become team captains for Deion Sanders' team and Jerry Rice's team. In a fantasy draft style setting, the captains pick from the voted all-stars to form the teams. And when the stars are realigned, it's teammate versus teammate in the new Pro Bowl: Unconferenced."
