NFL PLAY 60 Super Kid Expanded to Pro Bowl Games
NEW YORK — Jan. 13, 2025 — The NFL announced today this year’s NFL PLAY 60 Super Kids for Super Bowl LIX and the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. Hayes Audler from Louisiana will be the NFL PLAY 60 Super Kid at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025, and Tyler Boyd from Florida will assume the role for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando on Feb. 2, 2025.
For the first time, the NFL is expanding the NFL PLAY 60 Super Kid initiative beyond the Super Bowl to include the Pro Bowl Games. At both Super Bowl LIX and the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, Hayes and Tyler will participate in a variety of community events and behind the scenes opportunities, culminating in on-field recognition at the games. This season, the NFL is once again partnering with NFL PLAY 60 partner, Special Olympics, Inc. (“Special Olympics”) on the PLAY 60 Super Kid activation.
NFL PLAY 60 is the league’s youth health and wellness platform, empowering youth to get physically active for at least 60 minutes a day. Both Hayes and Tyler demonstrate their dedication to living an active and healthy lifestyle by participating in youth sports through their local Special Olympics state Programs, including involvement in Unified flag football. Special Olympics Unified Sports provides opportunities for people with and without intellectual disabilities to play on the same team.
Throughout the year, the NFL and Special Olympics team up to provide opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities to PLAY 60 through the expansion of Unified flag football. NFL Foundation grants fund Unified Sports, including Unified flag football, which has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sports in Special Olympics, with leagues across the country.
In addition to his responsibilities as the NFL PLAY 60 Super Kid, Hayes will also serve as ABC Good Morning America’s Kid Correspondent throughout the week leading up to Super Bowl LIX. As Good Morning America’s Kid Correspondent, Hayes will attend a variety of Super Bowl events, including NFL Honors and Super Bowl Experience, where he will have the opportunity to interview NFL players and legends.
