US – Mohegan Sun and FanDuel to hold Sportsbook Combine event

By Phil - 27 September 2022

Mohegan Sun and FanDuel will soon host an exciting one-day combine event, which features a quarterback challenge, a vertical jump and accuracy kick, through a sportsbook promotion that celebrates the return of football season.

Guests who place any $50 parlay bet inside the massive Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook now through Sunday, 9 October, can enter into to the FanDuel Combine. From there, the best-of-the-best in the combine’s skill challenges can win tickets to a pro football game, autographed NFL merchandise, team jerseys or an overnight experience at Mohegan Sun. The top three overall point scorers will also get a signed Pat McAfee football.

The combine event will also have a watch party element for all guests who enter, with food and refreshments available.

A very special guest, two-time pro-football champion Chris Hogan, will be on hand Sunday, 9 October, helping competitors with tips and tricks for the skills challenges. Hogan was a wide receiver in the NFL for nine seasons, enjoying some of his most productive seasons with the New England Patriots from 2016-2018, where he amassed 2,000+ yards receiving, grabbed 23 TDs and was key player during championship runs.

“We’re really excited about this promotion that culminates with an action-packed Combine event coming up on Sunday, October 9th,” said Brad Bryant, General Manager of Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook. “All of us who love sports, especially the sportsbook experience – likely grew up playing many of these popular sports and believe we still have some shining moments left in us. The Mohegan Sun FanDuel Combine will give guests the perfect opportunity to mix sports betting fun with some on the field fun!”

As for the categories of competition, the combine will consist of three separate skill challenges:

• Accuracy Kick: targets will be set up for competitors to test their football kicking accuracy.
• Quarterback Challenge: a course will be set-up allowing guests to do their best Patrick Mahomes impression and see how far and accurate they can throw the football.
• Vertical Jump: competitors will measure their vertical from a standing jump.
