The Pro Bowl takes place on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Several San Francisco 49ers players are on hand, representing the NFC, including tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
The 49ers posted videos of both players having fun during practice as each conference squad prepares for the upcoming all-star game. Kittle can be seen warming up with his teammates, center Alex Mack and fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
"I caught a pass from Kyler. That's crazy," Kittle later said after hauling in a pass from Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. "You don't see that every day."
The video closes with Kittle interacting with a very young waterboy.

"What an experience to be here with all the greats in the NFC," Samuel says in his video. "To be able to play with me, it's going to be fun."

NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe caught up with Samuel, asking him about his quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo. Most assume the 49ers will trade their starting quarterback this offseason, officially ushering in the Trey Lance era. However, Samuel offered up a vote of confidence in Garoppolo.
"I back Jimmy up with anything he do," Samuel told Wolfe. "He's a winner in my book. It's just a brotherhood, I've been with him, and whatever happens for him is going to happen, and God never fails."

Samuel's breakout year recording 1,405 receiving yards, 365 rushing yards, and 14 total touchdowns in the regular season earned him his first Pro Bowl selection.
"It means a lot," Samuel said. "It just shows all the work I put in this offseason, and all the stuff I did this season, to be able to come out here and be out here with all the guys."
