ORLANDO, Fla. -- The seven rookies participating in the Pro Bowl Games benefitted from two main things over the past week: a chance to mingle with some of the NFL's best players, and information.

It's the latter that will be the most valuable.

"The tips and pointers just on the season and things like that," Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said. "All information is good."

Stroud was the most impressive rookie Sunday at Camping World Stadium, where the AFC won the flag football game 50-34 but lost the overall competition 64-59. He threw for a game-high 173 yards and two touchdowns, though his final pass on fourth down fell incomplete in the end zone with 4 seconds to play.
