Rob Gronkowksi usually heads to Las Vegas to party, but he may actually handle some business this go round.
With 33 million people a year participate in at least one league, Fantasy Football is now king. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who has helped spearhead the development — will host the 2015 National Fantasy Football Convention, which will be held in Las Vegas on July 10-12 of this year.
There are expected to be more than 100 current and former players in attendance, including but not limited to Le’Veon Bell, Rob Gronkowski, Odell Beckham Jr., Eddie Lacy, Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Jamaal Charles, Jeremy Maclin, Richard Sherman, Alshon Jeffery, DeMarco Murray, Randall Cobb, C.J. Anderson, T.Y. Hilton, Emmanuel Sanders, Giovani Bernard, Keenan Allen, Sammy Watkins, Golden Tate, Pierre Garcon, DeMarcus Ware, C.J. Spiller, Geno Atkins, Lamar Miller, Frank Gore, Jason Witten, Fred Jackson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Roddy White, Allen Hurns, Joique Bell, Kelvin Benjamin, Travis Kelce, Isaiah Crowell, Delanie Walker, Andre Williams, Stevan Ridley and Danny Amendola.
Along with the players, various fantasy experts will be in on hand “for fans to meet, learn from, and interact with across a number of unique platforms.”
“The level of excitement and interest from players and former players is incredible,” Romo said of the convention. “I can’t wait for fans to have this chance to learn from and meet players, because there’s never been anything like this before.”
