IShowSpeed Featured in ESPN Monday Night Football Promo to Energize Fans

IShowSpeed made a special appearance in ESPN’s Monday Night Football promo to generate excitement for the upcoming game and engage fans of the NFL.

In the latest Monday Night Football promo from ESPN, one of the most popular YouTube streamers, IShowSpeed, surprised viewers with his cameo.

Although Speed is primarily known for his humorous EA FC videos and has a strong passion for soccer, his fandom spans multiple sports. His admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and dreams of collaborating with the iconic player are key aspects of his brand.

Recently, however, IShowSpeed made his foray into the NFL realm, thanks to a promotional video released by ESPN on September 23.

The promo begins with a helicopter landing on a building’s rooftop, presenting viewers with a sweeping shot of a top floor filled with screens flickering with NFL highlights.

To the astonishment of both NFL fans and IShowSpeed followers, he appeared onscreen delivering motivational words with energy.

“It’s a pivotal game; it’s time to show out. Where my receivers at? We need speed tonight,” he declared.

The promo also featured thrilling NFL footage and included a segment with Snoop Dogg hyping up the upcoming match between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Even though IShowSpeed isn’t traditionally linked with the NFL, his presence in this promo has significantly heightened anticipation among fans. This further solidifies his position as one of the leading content creators in the United States.

“IShowSpeed might be the biggest personality in the USA now,” one user commented on X, while another added, “If Speed is in the promo, you know it’s gonna be a crazy game.”

Although IShowSpeed’s feature in an NFL promo caught many off guard, the league has a history of including popular streamers in promotional videos for major events.

Historically, Dr. Disrespect was a familiar face in NFL promotions, owing to his deep interest in the sport and his skills as a player.

In 2023, Disrespect made a significant appearance promoting the game between the 49ers and the Broncos and starred in a Sunday Night Football promo video.

However, following his recent controversies, the NFL has decided to part ways with Dr. Disrespect and has enlisted IShowSpeed to amplify excitement among audiences.
