Thursday Feb. 1
- Best Catch: Pre-taped in landmarks around Orlando, Best Catch will feature one player from each conference (David Njoku and Puka Nacua), as they show off their creativity, inventiveness and talent. Each player will have three attempts to secure their catch. Fans will vote online to determine their favorite catch, and the player with the highest number of votes will earn three points for his conference.
- Precision Passing: Each of the conference’s three quarterbacks (Gardner Minshew, C.J. Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa vs. Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith) will battle it out in a one-minute accuracy competition, as they attempt to accumulate points by hitting as many targets as possible. In the second round, the highest scoring quarterback from each conference will take turns hitting as many targets as possible on six throws each. The quarterback with the highest score earns three points for his conference.
- Closest to the Pin: This golf accuracy competition will feature five players from each conference (AJ Cole, Kyle Hamilton, Alec Ingold, Raheem Mostert, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah vs. Bryan Anger, Jake Ferguson, Jaylon Johnson, Julian Love, Darius Slay). They will drive the golf ball, working to hit it as close to the hole as possible. The winner will earn three points for his conference.
