BERKELEY – Former Cal players Keenan Allen (Los Angeles Chargers), Cameron Jordan (New Orleans) and Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay) were selected Monday for the Pro Bowl with the announcement made on NFL Network. Rodgers' selection is the ninth of his career (2009, '11, '12, '14, '15, '16, '18, '19, '20), while Jordan is a six-time pick (2013, '15, '17, '18, '19, '20) and Allen has been chosen each of the past four years (2017, '18, '19, '20). Jordan and Rodgers were selected as starters.

This season's Pro Bowl was originally scheduled to be played on Sunday, Jan. 31 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas but will not be held for the first time since 1949 due to COVID-19 concerns. Instead, the NFL is working with EA Sports to create a week-long series of matchups featuring celebrities, NFL Legends, current players and streamers playing the official Pro Bowl rosters on Madden NFL 21. The week culminates in a virtual Pro Bowl game with 2021 Pro Bowl players playing within Madden, which will be available for fans to watch across a variety of platforms on Sunday, Jan. 31 (Noon PT).

Below are notes on Allen, Jordan and Rodgers with their names linked to their Pro Football Reference profiles.
