The NFL's biggest stars showcased their talents at the fifth annual Pro Bowl Skills Showdown on Thursday.

The festivities returned following a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and featured two new events: Fastest Man and Best Catch.

Precision Passing

The precision passing competition gave two quarterbacks and one non-QB from each conference one minute to display their accuracy.

Russell Wilson was on point for the NFC, setting a new record of 29 points to lead all competitors in the drill.

Thread the Needle

Quarterbacks were challenged to hit as many targets as possible within the time limit while the opposing conference's defensive backs worked together to limit the passer's success.

Mac Jones scored 12 points while facing off against defensive stalwarts Trevon Diggs and Darius Slay.

Best Catch

In a new event drawing some parallels to the NBA's dunk competition, two receivers from each conference showed off their creativity. A celebrity panel judged the competition, with participants permitted to use props and guest appearances to help win over judges.

Stefon Diggs managed to maintain possession while going through a table in an homage to the Buffalo Bills' fan base.

But it was younger brother Trevon Diggs who outshined the competition and earned the highest score of the evening with an incredible front-flip snag.

Fastest Man

Aiming to crown the fastest man in the league, this event featured two players from each conference in a race for the title of speediest player in the NFL.

In a shocking upset, linebacker Micah Parsons narrowly beat Nick Chubb to be crowned the Fastest Man. Speedster Tyreek Hill finished last behind third-place Trevon Diggs.

Epic Pro Bowl Dodgeball

Players from each conference competed in a best-of-three series to see who could duck, dive, and dodge their way to victory.

Jefferson made a clutch grab to eliminate Chubb, sealing the Pro Bowl Skill Showdown win for the NFC squad.
