The 1958
The West team was led by the Detroit Lions' George Wilson while Buddy Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers coached the East squad.[3] San Francisco 49ers running back Hugh McElhenny was selected as the outstanding back of the game and defensive end Gene Brito of the Washington Redskins was named the outstanding lineman.[4]
This was the first Pro Bowl to be televised nationally (except in the Los Angeles market where it was blacked out).[2]
