NFL vet has turned into NASCAR pit crew star
After a brief NFL career, former HBCU football star Marshall McFadden has carved out a new path in NASCAR, where he puts his athleticism to work. The former South Carolina State linebacker now serves as the jackman for NASCAR driver Ross Chastain's No. 1 Chevrolet ZL1 crew. 'After being in the NFL and college football, it gave me the perfect ingredients to cross over to NASCAR. Here, that same professionalism and athleticism applies," McFadden told the Winston-Salem Journal. 'The understanding of how things are done is similar, and that's how I worked my way up to being a jackman.' McFadden made his mark at South Carolina State University, an HBCU known for producing NFL players. After tallying 12 tackles in 2007, he broke out in 2008 with 88 tackles and five sacks. His performance earned him MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors and confirmed his ability to lead and disrupt offenses. He began his professional career in 2012 when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed him to a reserve/future contract. Although released during final cuts, the team added him to the practice squad. He earned a promotion to the active roster in November but was later released and re-signed to the practice squad. In 2013, McFadden joined the Oakland Raiders' practice squad. He moved to the St. Louis Rams in 2014, earning a spot on the active roster in October. He remained with the team until September 2015, when he was released during final cuts. Now, McFadden is finding success in NASCAR as Chastain continues to climb the ranks. The post NFL vet has turned into NASCAR pit crew star appeared first on HBCU Gameday.

NFL, Genius Sports Extend and Expand Betting Data Partnership
The NFL and Genius Sports reached a two-year extension for the London-based firm to continue as the exclusive distributor of real-time, official play-by-play and gambling data to sportsbooks and media companies around the world. The deal includes expanded rights for Genius to monetize NFL IP in two new ways. Genius can now sell ad inventory on the NFL BetVision streams, which are the streams of live games in the sportsbook apps. Genius Sports also gains the right to sell ads across the NFL's owned-and-operated digital empire, leveraging Genius' FanHub platform. The agreement includes further collaboration between Genius and the NFL on future activations with FanHub. Advertisement More from FanHub launched in the fall as an omnichannel marketing platform for brands to target sports fans. It allows advertisers the ability to make programmatic and social media placements. In Wednesday's announcement, Genius Sports CEO Mark Locke highlighted the expanded NFL deal as a key milestone for FanHub's rollout, which he believes will set a new standard in a data-driven experience for fans, broadcasters, sportsbooks and sponsors. Genius declined to comment on the financial terms of the partnership. The NFL and Genius first partnered in 2021 after a months-long bidding process, where Genius emerged ahead of rival and previous NFL partner Sportradar. In 2023, they reached an extension that ran through the 2027 NFL season. This deal aligns the two properties through the Super Bowl in February 2030. Advertisement Genius will remain the middleman between the NFL's official data feed and sportsbooks looking to build markets off the fastest possible in-game information. Genius also sells data to media companies—that's the 'Next Gen Stats' fans see on broadcasts—and serves as the exclusive gatekeeper to live game broadcasts that sportsbooks can purchase to show alongside their odds. The NFL is the dominant force in U.S. broadcasting, with 72 games in the top 100 TV broadcasts in 2024. The league is also dominant in U.S. sports betting, as the American Gaming Association projected American adults would bet $35 billion with legal sportsbooks during the 2024 season. Genius will continue to provide 'integrity services' across all NFL games. The NFL was granted 18.5 million Genius shares in the original 2021 deal and 4 million more shares for the 2023 extension. Genius' stock is up 76% over the last 12 months. Advertisement Genius Sports works with more than 700 sports organizations across leagues, sportsbooks, brands and broadcasters, including the EPL, NCAA, DraftKings, FanDuel, Coca-Cola, NBC and ESPN.
