Seattle Seahawks QB Wilson will also get to reunite with former teammate Marshawn Lynch, who will no doubt be in “Beast Mode.” Lynch initially retired from the NFL in February 2016 but has since been officially traded to the Oakland Raiders.

Other athletes confirmed to attend — and at risk of a serious sliming — are Klay Thompson, Prince Fielder, P.K. Subban, Travis Kelce and Jimmy Butler.

Wilson will be hosting for the third consecutive year. The 28-year-old pro football player has both gotten married — to singer Ciara  in July 2016 — and become a father — to daughter Sienna last month — in the three years since he first took to the sticky stage.
