Josh Jacobs does not like the new NFL Pro Bowl format.
Rather than playing a traditional exhibition game, the AFC and NFC Pro Bowlers are competing in a series of skills challenges this week in Las Vegas. Thursday night’s festivities included dodgeball, precision passing, and a competition for the longest golf drive. Jacobs participated in the dodgeball event.
The star Las Vegas Raiders running back will make his second Pro Bowl appearance Sunday during what will be a flag football game.
He was asked on Saturday about the new format and sparred no feelings.
“This s— is stupid,” he said, per The Athletic’s Tashan Reed.

When asked what the NFL could do instead of the Pro Bowl Games, Jacobs said the league should send everyone and their families on a vacation.
In his fourth season out of Alabama, Jacobs had his best year yet. He ran for 1,653 yards (4.9 per carry) and 12 touchdowns, adding another 400 yards as a receiver.
Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
