Deion Sanders, Cam Newton, Michael Vick Headline 2026 NFL Super Bowl 60 Flag Football Game

Multiple NFL legends were announced Tuesday as part of the Super Bowl LX Flag Football Game, which will take place during Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco.

In a press release, it was revealed that University of Colorado head football coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders will coach in the game while former NFL superstar quarterbacks Cam Newton and Michael Vick will play.

Comedian Druski and musician J. Balvin will be the captains of opposing teams, while pop star Benson Boone and many other notable celebrities will play in the game as well.

The Super Bowl LX Flag Football Game will be played the night before Super Bowl LX, and it will stream live on YouTube on Saturday, Feb. 7, at 10 p.m. ET.

Known by many as "Coach Prime," Sanders has spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Colorado following a three-year stint in that same role at Jackson State.

However, the 58-year-old Sanders' biggest claim to fame is his status as arguably the greatest cornerback in NFL history.

Over 14 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington and Baltimore Ravens from 1989 to 2005, Sanders was an eight-time Pro Bowler, six-time First Team All-Pro, two-time Super Bowl champion and one-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

His 53 career interceptions are 24th in NFL history, while his combined 19 defensive and return touchdowns are the second-most all time behind only Devin Hester's 20.

Playing in the flag football game will be two of the most revolutionary quarterbacks in NFL history.

Vick, 45, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft, and he is perhaps more synonymous with the term "dual threat" than any other quarterback to ever play the game.

Over his 13 NFL seasons with the Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers, Vick was a four-time Pro Bowler and one-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and he was the first quarterback in NFL history to record over 1,000 rushing yards in a single season.

The 36-year-old Newton went first overall to the Carolina Panthers in the 2011 NFL draft, and he played 10 of his 11 NFL seasons with that franchise. The lone exception was one year with the New England Patriots in 2020.

Newton is the Panthers' all-time leader in passing yardage (29,725), passing touchdowns (186) and rushing touchdowns (63).

He led the Panthers to a 15-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance in 2015, and the three-time Pro Bowler and one-time First Team All-Pro was also named NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year that season.

The aforementioned legends will set the stage for Super Bowl LX, which will be played between the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8.
