Game-winning PAT in the Pro Bowl!

He probably became the first Owl to ever score points in the Pro Bowl. Tommy Kramer started the 1987 game for the NFC but he didn't throw any touchdowns, and I think that was his sole appearance in the game.

How is this not used by our marketing department? #ricenfl

I can’t find any Pro Bowl stats, but Billy Howton played in 4 as a WR, so I would imagine there’s a good chance he caught a TD pass.

Did Frank Ryan throw a pro bowl pass? He also played in 3.

Boz's stats - 1/1 on FGs (41 yards); 3/3 on PATs.

Howton scored on a 73-yard reception in the 1956 game.

My bad. I was looking at something earlier today and it was talking about the AFC vs NFC Pro Bowl had only been in place since 1970, so I just assumed that was when the game actually began. But I guess technically it's been around since 1938 (and was sporadically played up until 1950 when it's pretty much become a yearly all-star game).

So Boz becomes the first Rice player to score points since the AFC-NFC merger at the very least (not counting Jerry Rice or any other player whose last name is Rice).
