At some point over the past few years DaeSean Hamilton Jersey , video games became a spectator sport. Which confounds many adults.
Making it more confounding is the amount of money generated by those who participate in eSports at the highest levels. There’s also money to be made by more casual gamers with recognizable names.
Enter Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Via Bradenton.com, Smith-Schuster has a deal with HyperX. As part of the arrangement, Smith-Schuster will wear聽HyperX headsets in live-stream gaming sessions, he’ll participate in HyperX marketing campaigns, and he’ll appear at HyperX fan events.
“When I鈥檓 not training Brian Allen Jersey , studying, or at practice, I鈥檓 in my element playing video games; my HyperX headset offers the sound quality and comfort I need to stay focused and win,” Smith-Schuster said in a press release. “I wanted to work with HyperX because they have the best headsets, and I love how the brand is always looking for unique ways to work together with me.

The Bears decided to rest their starters for today’s preseason game, but the Chiefs have their top players on the field, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to look like he has command of the offense.
Mahomes avoided a Bears blitz and hit Kareem Hunt for a short pass that Hunt took for a 19-yard touchdown on Kansas City’s first offensive drive. It was a good drive that also saw an excellent 28-yard run from Tyreek Hill Dwayne Washington Jersey , plus a 15-yard completion from Mahomes to Sammy Watkins.
So far in the preseason, Mahomes has looked the part: Everyone knew he had a strong arm, and he has shown that off, but he’s also drawn praise from coach Andy Reid for his touch passes. Recognizing the blitz and finding the open man, as he did on the touchdown toss to Hunt Sam Mills Jersey , is what the Chiefs want to continue seeing from Mahomes.
The bad news for the Chiefs is that their defense allowed the Bears’ backup offense to march down the field and score a touchdown on each of the first two possessions of the game. Mahomes may have to put a lot of points on the board if the Chiefs’ defense keeps playing like that.
