The event, airing January 25 at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN, pits players from the NFC and AFC against each other in dodgeball, a gauntlet relay, precision passing drills, catching footballs dropped from drones and a best hands exercise where two receivers from each conference catch a series of passes at a sequence downfield.
Adams was added to the Pro Bowl roster last week as an injury replacement for Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones. The fourth-year receiver led the Packers with 74 catches for 885 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2017.
Daniels was named to the Pro Bowl earlier this month as an injury replacement for Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. A three-time Pro Bowl alternate, Daniels had 49 tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble in 14 starts this season.
