'America's Got Talent' has returned to tv screens and raised the bar. A million dollars and the chance to headline an act in Las Vegas may seem too good to be true for any artist, but the winner of NBC's most-loved talent hunt reality show may make the fantasy a reality. As the NBC show prepares to return for its seventeenth season, we can expect to meet a slew of new ironic talents.

To win the coveted reward on season 17 of 'America's Got Talent,' the performer or act must give it their all in order to wow the judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara, as well as the show's most ardent fans. The 'NFL Players Choir' is one of the most anticipated performances this year; read on to learn more about this group. However, if you're looking for more talent-based shows to watch, go no further.

Who are NFL Players Choir?



 

NFL Players Choir is one of the most exciting acts featured in 'America's Got Talent' Season 17. The group is made up of NFL players who will display a distinct team dynamic that blends a love of gospel music and pro football. Both past and present players participate, and what thrills us about their involvement is that it's changing people's perceptions about NFL athletes. It goes against the erroneous stereotype of football players as super-strong, hard-nosed males whose major specialty is striking each other on the field. These are folks with diverse hobbies, and many of them also have excellent singing voices! It's exciting to watch the lighter side of these stars and see them express themselves.



 

According to reports, Isaiah McKenzie is one of four members who will perform in the NFL Players Choir. In an unexpected twist, the other three members of the foursome all played for Buffalo at some point. Bryan Scott, a linebacker for the club from 2007 to 2012, is the most well-known. Tight end Michael Gaines and running back Dwayne Wright are the other two. Gaines played 15 games for the Bills in one season, with 25 catches for 215 yards and two touchdowns. Wright spent one NFL season with Buffalo, appearing in 15 games and making 29 carries.



 

Catch NFL Players Choir on 'America's Got Talent' Season 17 on Tuesday at 8 pm on NBC. Subsequent episodes will air every Tuesday at the same time. For viewers who wish to tune in to the show without cable, they can do so using streaming services such as Sling TV, fuboTV, Hulu With Live TV, AT&T TV, or YouTube TV.
