Turner joins an elite list of
football greats, such as John Elway, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, and 62 NFL Hall of
Famers, who have played in the East-West Shrine Game along with 52 players
currently on active NFL rosters.
“The
East-West Shrine Game has always fielded players among college football’s
best,” said East-West Shrine Game Executive Director Harold Richardson. “With
all 32 NFL teams represented by GMs, coaches and scouts during game week, our
players have the terrific opportunity to showcase their talents and get their
first glimpse of life in the NFL … ‘Just Like on Sunday.’”
While
the teams are divided by East and West, the players come together for the
beneficiary of the event, Shriners Hospitals for Children®, an international
pediatric specialty health care system.
“We
hope our supporters all over the country will come out and enjoy this exciting
game,” said Douglas E. Maxwell, president and CEO of Shriners Hospitals for
Children. “Our health care system depends on the generosity of our supporters,
and this game is one of our signature events benefiting Shriners Hospitals for
Children.”
