Whistle Sports To Debut Competition Series Pitting NFL Players Against Int'l Footballers

Global sports media company Whistle Sports teamed up with the NFL to create "Game Recognize Game," a short-form original series that debuts later this month. The four-episode social series will feature NFL players and int'l footballers battling against each other in a series of challenges. For example, Man City's Sergio Agüero, the highest-scoring player from South America in Premier League history, will attempt to kick a field goal farther than the NFL Houston Texans' J.J. Watt. NFL VP of Int'l Marketing Henry Hodgson said, "Through our partnership, we expect to see more content like this as we lead into the 2017 season." The series will feature EPL players including Tottenham's Harry Kane and ManU's Paul Pogba, among others (Whistle Sports).
