The Packers had several selections to the 2015 Pro Bowl including the leading vote getter, Aaron Rodgers.  The Packers were five minutes away in the NFC Championship game from not having any players participate in the Pro Bowl.  However, an epic collapse lead to the likes of Clay Matthews, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, John Kuhn, Sam Shields, and Josh Sitton suiting up in Arizona with the remainder of the league's best.

The NFL continued the format of a Pro Bowl draft lead by two captains, Michael Irvin and Cris Carter.  Jordy Nelson, John Kuhn, Josh Sitton, and Sam Shields were drafted by Cris Carter for Team Carter.  Clay Matthews and Randall Cobb were drafted by Michael Irvin for Team Irvin.
