Snoop Dogg, comedian Pete Davidson named Pro Bowl captains

Comedian Pete Davidson and rapper Snoop Dogg are heading to the Pro Bowl — as team captains, per People.

For the NFC, the 29-year-old Davidson will captain HC Eli Manning's team, while 51-year-old Snoop Dogg will captain HC Peyton Manning's team in the AFC. 

"I'm comin' back to the NFL field, but this time, instead of performing, I'm going head-to-head with Pete and competing for the title of The Pro Bowl Games Champion," Snoop, one of the halftime performers at last year’s Super Bowl, said in a People interview. 

A "Saturday Night Live" alum, Davidson tells People his motivation for participating is "to impress my Uncle Mike." The opportunity to work with Eli Manning, one of his idols, probably influenced his decision too.
