Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is one of multiple NFL stars playing in a virtual Pro Bowl game that will be played on Madden NFL 21, which is one of the many events that will replace this year’s game that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Henry, along with Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, rapper Snoop Dogg and former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson will control the AFC squad, while Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch and NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace will represent the NFC squad.
Each participant is set to play one five-minute quarter, and the event will be broadcast on Twitch, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube on January 31 at 5 p.m. ET.
On Wednesday, a funny video was released showing Henry and the other players “training” in preparation for the contest. Check it out:

“We’ll be taking the Pro Bowl to the virtual world of Madden this weekend and I can’t wait to do it big with football fans in my favorite game,” Snoop Dogg said, per ESPN. “I’m a Madden NFL star. So Kyler and Marshawn better watch out, my team is comin’ in to win that championship title for the AFC.”
