Two former Notre Dame players will represent the Irish at the 2017 NFL Pro Bowl.
The game will be played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 29, 2017. It will be televised at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
Zack Martin, offensive guard, Dallas Cowboys
The All-Pro right guard for the first-place Cowboys is making his fourth Pro Bowl appearance in four years.
Martin has been among the best blockers in the league this year, helping rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott lead the entire NFL in rushing with 1,551 yards.
Dallas has five pro bowlers, and all are on offense.
Harrison Smith, safety, Minnesota Vikings
The 27-year-old Smith is making his third Pro Bowl appearance, though the fifth-year pro is currently out with a high ankle sprain.
Smith, a first-round draft pick in 2012, has 84 tackles this season for the Vikings along with one fumble recovery and two passes defended.
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has refuted reports that Smith won't return this season. However, Smith hasn’t been able to return to practice.
