    And new question, the Detroit Lions got a lot of shit for drafting three straight wide receivers a few years back. However, it may not be the worst series of selections of all time. What team once drafted quarterbacks in the first round three years in a row in the 1960s? And who were the quarterbacks?

    What is the record for most consecutive Pro Bowls?
    Who has it?

    I want to say Randall McDaniel held it at one point with 12.

    It's possible.
    But that's not the record.

    Sorry if this turns out to be a stupid question, but did you mean conference or division?

    Actually I think the answer is the same either way. I looked and other than the period you gave, I don’t think the MVP has ever stayed in one conference for four straight years.

    EDIT: that is not true. AFC from 2006-2010, but repeats by Brady and P. Manning

    EDIT 2: also NFC from 92-97, but repeats by Favre and Young. Fuck am I out of it today.

    Partial credit.
    Hint: 14 is the record, and Olsen appeared in 14 straight, but so did 4 others.
