Former UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr was selected to his second straight Pro Bowl, the Minnesota Vikings announced Monday.

Barr, who was drafted by the Vikings in 2014, will replace Atlanta’s Vic Beasley, Jr., who will play in Super Bowl LI. Barr is the first Vikings linebacker to be selected to two Pro Bowls in his first three years in the NFL.

UCLA’s Matthew Slater was voted to the Pro Bowl as a special teamer, but is relinquishing his spot as the New England Patriot will head to Houston for the Super Bowl.

The Pro Bowl will be played Sunday, Jan. 29 at 5 p.m. PT on ESPN.
