The NFL has announced this year's selections for the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando.

Not surprisingly, the San Francisco 49ers have had the most selections with nine total players and eight starters.

Also well represented are the Baltimore Ravens (7), Dallas Cowboys (7), Miami Dolphins (6), Philadelphia Eagles (6), Cleveland Browns (5), Kansas City Chiefs (5) and Detroit Lions (5).

Brock Purdy and Tua Tagovailoa were selected to their first Pro Bowl as starting quarterbacks for their respective conferences.

It's the first time the two starting quarterbacks have been selected since the 1999 season, when Pro Football Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner were chosen.

Purdy was one of nine players selected from the 49ers, who have already clinched the NFC's No. 1 ranking.

He was joined by edge rusher Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tight end George Kittle, running back Christian McCaffrey, cornerback Charvarius Ward, linebacker Fred Warner and tackle Trent Williams.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Kyle Hamilton, center Tyler Linderbaum, defensive tackle Justin Madubuike, linebackers Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith and kicker Justin Tucker were picked from the Ravens, who secured the AFC's No. 1 seed.

Quarterback Dak Prescott, punter Bryan Anger, kicker Brandon Aubrey, cornerback DaRon Bland, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, guard Zack Martin and edge rusher Micah Parsons were selected from the Cowboys, who can clinch the NFC East title with a win on Sunday.

Both Travis and Jason Kelce are inducted after another great season for the brothers.

Martin, Travis Kelce and Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner are nine-time Pro Bowl picks. Juszczyk and Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill are going for the eighth time.

The Pro Bowl returns to Orlando for the first time in three years.

This will be the second year for the Pro Bowl Games with a multi-day AFC versus NFC competition that includes Pro Bowl skills and culminates in a flag football game.
