The NFL announced Friday the four captains for next Sunday's Pro Bowl.

New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr., Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman, Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins, and St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald got the nod.

Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice are slated to serve as the NFL legends captains for the two Pro Bowl teams. They'll be joined by Darren Woodson (Team Irwin) and Eric Davis (Team Rice) as defensive co-captains.

That's a lot of captains.

Rather than the old format of AFC vs. NFC, players will be allocated via a fantasy draft led by the legends captains.
