Passing the test is basically the precision passing event that has been part of the Pro Bowl Games for the past two years, plus a trivia contest.

The trivia contest will take part before the event, with the quarterback selecting one of his Pro Bowl Games teammates to answer five questions about various Pro Bowl players. Each correct answer gives the quarterback an additional 10 seconds of time.

Another trivia event added to the competition is called Helmet Harmony. It is described as a game show that will test a player's knowledge of their teammates, with each correct answering being worth one point.

One of the new skill events is a relay race that involves four players from each conference running a 40-yard dash with each player handing a football to their teammate at the end of the run until the fourth and final leg of the relay is complete. The event will consist of three rounds.

The punt perfect competition will feature one punter and one non-punter from each conference trying to place as many punts from the 35-yard line into a set of six buckets in the end zone. Each bucket is worth one point, but every fifth punt is worth three points if it goes in.

A highlight of Sunday's festivities is the Great Football Race. Teams will consist of six players from each conference in a relay race with five different challenges, with the final one being a sled push.

The entire event with culminate with the traditional flag football game.

Eli Manning's team held on for a 64-59 over Peyton Manning's team last year with a defensive stand at the goal line in the final seconds.
