Myles Garrett Shines at Dodgeball

In the dodgeball competition, the AFC offense first squared off against the AFC defense (with the same type of match-up happening in the NFC). Nick Chubb was in the final two survivors for the offense, but was eliminated when Minkah Fitzpatrick caught one of his throws.

The AFC defense won the first round and faced off against the NFC offense in the final. It came down to 4-on-2, with Garrett and Fitzpatrick standing for the AFC. Then it was 3-on-2, but the AFC’s hopes pretty much ended when Garrett was eliminated for having gone out of bounds. Nonetheless, here is a clip of his best moments:

Joel Bitonio Shows Off Multiple Skills

Joel Bitonio is the best guard in the NFL, but he tried to show off his quarterback and punt-fielding abilities as well during the lighting round. It was a three-part elimination challenge involving water balloon tosses, catching punts from a JUGGS machine, and aiming at targets on a dunk tank with the opposing team’s coach. Wyatt Teller also took part in this event, but it was Bitonio who stole the show.

And lastly, working in tandem to help dunk on opposing coach Eli Manning with his quarterbacking skills:

He was treated like the MVP of the competition:
