Jrick35 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Who played in the most Pro Bowls in NFL history? 673608[/snapback] Merlin Olsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Tough question. I'm not sure when they even started playing the Pro Bowl. Someone who was popular and played forever. Somebody who wouldn't be the first player to come to your mind. I'll guess Bruce Mathews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Jerry Rice? Probably not, though, because it would be too obvious. Reggie White? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Matthews played in 10, but was selected to 4 more that he didn't play in. Edited January 26, 2005 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hmm, I believe Merlin Olsen played in more than 12 Pro Bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Excellent. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/alltimestats 673635[/snapback] Hmm, weird. http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/ProBowl.jsp Either way, I was pretty sure it was McDaniel or the Merlin.

Hugh 0ne Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hmm, weird. http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/ProBowl.jsp 673645[/snapback] Gotta find out what we're missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website that has McDaniel is NFL. Question asked for NFL history. So, if we can assume that Balzac's right about the pre-merger thing, which is kind of supported by the website names, than McDaniel would be the right answer.

Balzac Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) Gotta find out what we're missing. 673652[/snapback] I initially thought it was Anthony Munoz, but I note that he's not listed there either. Edit: that would be b/c he was selected to 11, but didn't play in 2 of them. Edited January 26, 2005 by Balzac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
