The Packers had only one representative in Hawaii for the 2014 Pro Bowl.  Eddie Lacy, the NFL's Rookie of the Year, represented the Packers as a member of Team Sanders in the Pro Bowl.  In an attempt to make the Pro Bowl more exciting, the NFL eliminated conference teams and created a Pro Bowl draft lead by two captains, Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders.

Eddie Lacy made his first appearance in the Pro Bowl mid-way through the third quarter and finished the game as the running back for Team Sanders.  Lacy rushed for 14 yards on seven carries.  Lacy also caught one pass for 9 yards.

On December 28th, the NFL released the list of participates in the Pro Bowl.  At that time, the Packers did not have any players representing the team in the Pro Bowl.  However, on January 15th, it was announced that Lacy would replace Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson as an injury replacement.

In the end, Team Rice edged Team Sanders 22-21 in a defensive battle.
