The Pro Bowl is becoming more and more irrelevant.
Just like with college players and bowl games, some players are saying they will skip the NFL's exhibition game celebrating the year's best players. Lions cornerback Darius Slay said last week he wouldn't play because it was moved from Hawaii to Orlando. On Tuesday, Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert joined him.

"I'd like to make it, but I'm not going to go if I got asked," Eifert said via ESPN .
Eifert suffered an ankle injury in last season's Pro Bowl that required surgery and forced him to miss the entire offseason and part of the regular season.
"It was one of the best experiences I've ever had," Eifert said of last season's Pro Bowl. "But it's just not worth it."
Eifert, who missed all of September and most of October, has 29 receptions for 394 yards and five touchdowns this season. He has scored four touchdowns in his last four games. Good thing for him, he won't have to skip the Pro Bowl because he was not selected.
