NFLers flex their muscle at Las Vegas arm wrestling competition
A collection of NFL talent is currently in Las Vegas for something called the "Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship."
The event features Kenny Stills, NaVorro Bowman, Marquette King, and Marshawn Lynch, among others, as well as the league's most prominent strong-armer, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison.
As Harrison noted on his Instagram page, the finals for the event were held Saturday at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino and will be aired on CBS on May 27 and 28.
The event also gives an inside look at Lynch, who is rumored to be considering coming out of retirement to play for his hometown Oakland Raiders.
In years past, the NFL has been opposed to football events held in Las Vegas, most notably a planned fantasy football convention featuring Tony Romo. As Jarrett Bell of USA TODAY Sports notes, players are prohibited from appearing at casinos for promotional purposes.
