There was some question as to whether Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow would attend and participate in the Pro Bowl this weekend. After all, Burrow was last seen overseas, and major names opt out of the Pro Bowl often, hence Patriots rookie Drake Maye suddenly being one of the players set to attend.

Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson are scheduled to compete in three of the five events in Thursday's Pro Bowl Skills Show.

As most fans could reasonably guess, the Cincinnati Bengals have again firmly involved Joe Burrow in the offseason process. That includes looping in Burrow on major offseason items on the to-do list such as possible extensions for Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and even Trey Hendrickson.
