    Dan's Still Got it? ESPN's Orlovsky Shows Out During Pro Bowl Games

    ESPN's Dan Orlovsky has made his name post-football career as one of the better analysts on television.

    Part of First Take, Get Up and other ESPN shows, Orlovsky has been on a steady rise and has even called some NFL games this season, and while his broadcasting career is going well, it turns out that he can still throw a football.

    Having not played in a meaningful NFL game since 2015, which was his last season with the Detroit Lions, one could have thought that Orlovsky might have lost some of his arm talent after being out for so long.

    Well, as it turns out, he still has the juice.

    At the NFL Pro Bowl games, Orlovksy took part in the precision passing drill and did well, really well.

    Orlovksy started off a little scratchy and slow which was to be expected, but he quickly hit two three-point throws followed by nailing back-to-back long-range four-point throws to get into a groove.

    He would then miss his next couple, but on his last throw he dialed up the launch codes and hit a 10-point pass as he dropped in right in the bucket after time expired.

    Dan finished on 27 points (32 points won the event last year), which is a decent effort considering he likely hasn't thrown a football in that kind of environment in a while.

    But looking at the current quarterbacks who took part in it, Orvlosky's efforts get even better.

    Baker Mayfield (24 points) and C.J. Stroud (26 points) both led the NFC and AFC respectively in the drill...and Orvlosky beat out both.

    While Orlovsky is making waves in his broadcasting career, he showed that he can still get it done with a football in hand.
