A rap legend and former “Saturday Night Live” comedian will join the Super Bowl-winning Manning brothers to lead the NFL’s Pro Bowl 2023 teams, according to a report.

The Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas on February 5 added Snoop Dogg and Pete Davidson as captains of the Conference Football Team and the National Football Conference Team, respectively. The event will take place at Allegiant Stadium.

Snoop Dogg, the 51-year-old rapper from Long Beach, will captain the AFC team that will be led by Peyton Manning, who won Super Bowl titles with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

“I’m going back to the NFL field, but this time, instead of performing, I’m going to go head-to-head with Pete and compete for the title of Pro Bowl Games champion,” Snoop Dogg said, according to People.
