Malik Nabers, Russell Wilson will represent New York Giants at Fanatics Fest NYC
Fanatics Fest NYC returns this weekend, and the New York Giants will be well-represented.
Quarterback Russell Wilson will participate in the first-ever Fanatics Games, a decathlon competition featuring 50 athletes/celebrities and 50 fans. The participants will compete in eight sports-themed events. Wilson will be tasked with hitting targets at various distances for the NFL portion.
The event will be at the Javits Center from June 20-22.
Fanatics Fest is an annual event that is the world's largest arena for sports and collectibles that brings together die-hard enthusiasts, renowned athletes, and passionate collectors for an unparalleled celebration of all things sports, collectibles, and pop culture. Attendees of the event have the opportunity to meet their sports heroes, take photos, participate in conversations, and have access to sports memorabilia and merchandise.
Aside from Wilson's participation in the Fanatics Games, he will be joined by Nabers, Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, former NBA stars Vince Carter and Allan Houston, and comedian Tracy Morgan on a "New York vs. The World" panel.
Wilson and Nabers won't be the only Giants in attendance, either.
First-round draft picks Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart, plus running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo, will be there. Along with the current players, Giants greats Eli Manning, Phil Simms, Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, and Mario Manningham will be on-site.
There will be plenty of other star athletes and celebrities in attendance at Fanatics Fest this weekend, so grab your camera, have your Apple Pay at the ready, and enjoy the festival that brings the best of sports to one place.
