2. by the players, coaches and fans

The Pro Bowl selection format has changed over the years. The current system selects players using votes from coaches, players and fans.

In the ‘80s, there was no quarterback quite like Montana. During his reign in San Francisco (and later, Kansas City), he earned eight Pro Bowl nods.

1. Nick Foles
   Von Miller
2. Michael Bennett

In the 2017 Pro Bowl, Denver linebacker Von Miller stole the show. He was the game’s MVP, helping the AFC to a 24-23 victory.

1. San Diego
   Houston
2. Pittsburgh

Greene was known for being a hard-hitting guy on the field and very nice man in public. With the Steelers, he made it to 10 Pro Bowls.

1. True
2. False

It’s a little bizarre, but true, Bradshaw had four Super Bowl wins and just three Pro Bowl seasons. We’re guessing he’ll take the Lombardi Trophy over Pro Bowls every time.

1. tight end
   quarterback
2. running back

Kelce is the ultra-talented tight end from Kansas City who ran wild at the 2016 Pro Bowl. Drafted in 2013, he’s already a three-time Pro Bowler.

1. True
2. False

From 1989 to 1998, Sanders was one of the best running backs in the game. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler, selected to the game every season of his career.

1. Alex Smith
   Tom Brady
2. Marshall Faulk

Brady, the star QB of the Patriots, is almost always a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl. Since joining the league, he’s been picked 13 times, more than any other active player.

1. 6
   13
2. 1

Rodgers is often regarded as one of the best QBs ever to play the game. He rode the bench behind Brett Favre for a while, but he’s since earned six Pro Bowl selections.

1. True
2. False

One day Rodgers may exceed Favre’s Pro Bowl total. But for now, Favre’s 11 are better than Rodgers’ six.

1. 14
   18
2. 22

It’s next to impossible to even stay in the league for 14 years, but to become a 14-time Pro Bowler is even more amazing. Four players are tied for that record.

1. Emmitt Smith
   Peyton Manning
2. Tony Gonzalez

Emmitt Smith clearly had an incredible NFL career. But he made it to "only" eight Pro Bowls, not 14.

1. Merlin Olsen
   Bart Starr
2. Red Grange

For 14 consecutive years — a Pro Bowl record — defensive tackle Merlin Olsen was picked for the game. Olsen later gained fame as a regular actor on the TV show "Little House on the Prairie."

Munoz was a vital anchor for the Bengals line in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and everyone recognized his importance. He made it to 11 Pro Bowls.

Taylor, known as "L.T.," was a vicious linebacker for the Giants. He was a 10-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time Super Bowl champ.

1. Peyton Manning
   John Elway
2. Trevor Siemian

John Elway is Denver’s most-celebrated sports star. He made it to nine Pro Bowls, but more importantly, he brought home two Super Bowl titles.

1. True
2. False

Broken neck? What broken neck? In spite of a wonky neck, Manning was indeed picked to 14 Pro Bowls, tying him for the all-time record.

1. Barry Sanders
   Reggie White
2. Roger Craig

Reggie White is second all-time in sacks, but he was named to 13 Pro Bowls. As a defensive star and ordained minister, he was the "Minister of Defense."

1. Melvin Gordon
   Jim Brown
2. Bernie Kosar

Jim Brown wasn’t just a running back — he was a sports sensation and celebrity, one who was just as successful in Hollywood as he was on the gridiron.

1. True
2. False

Young made it to seven Pro Bowls in his career, which started in Tampa Bay. But all of his Pro Bowls came during his time with the 49ers.

1. quarterback
   offensive lineman
2. kicker

Matthews was a versatile and talented offensive lineman who played for the Houston Oilers (and Tennessee Titans). He’s regarded as one of the finest linemen of all time.

1. Cleveland
   San Francisco
2. Denver

Lott was a safety and cornerback during the heady ‘80s dynasty in San Francisco. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler.

1. first round
   third round

Butkus was a star in the making coming out of Illinois. The Bears took him with the third pick of the first round and never looked back, as he made the Pro Bowl eight times.

1. offensive tackle
   punter
2. running back

Payton, or just "Sweetness," is still sometimes called one of the best running backs ever. He made the Pro Bowl nine times during his career with the Bears.

1. Yes
2. No

Rice is often called the best player ever to lace cleats in the NFL. Thirteen times he made the Pro Bowl, and three times he won the Super Bowl ... but he was never named MVP.

2. 15

In the '70s and '80s, "Hog" Hannah was an extraordinary nine-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman for the Patriots. He's often mentioned in the same breath as Anthony Munoz, who is hailed as the best lineman ever.

1. Carolina
   Buffalo
2. Miami

Kelly led the Buffalo Bills on their dominant tear in the ‘90s. Four straight times, he took the Bills to the playoffs, and four times they lost.

1. Baltimore
   Pittsburgh
2. Seattle

In the ‘70s and ‘80s, Lambert was an angry-looking linebacker with the Steelers, where he won four Super Bowls and was named a Pro Bowler nine times.

1. 1
   4
2. 7

Foles trumped Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, finally earning a bit of respect around the league. Just once — in 2013 — was he named to the Pro Bowl.

1. Kansas City
   Miami
2. Jacksonville

Marino played his spectacular career in Miami and went to one Super Bowl, which he lost. But, hey, he was named to the Pro Bowl nine times!
