From the Gridiron to the Runway

Top football players will trade their uniforms for high fashion at the NFL Passion for Fashion show Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Now in its third year as part of Super Bowl pregame activities, the show will feature players such as John Lynch Jr. of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Keenan McCardell of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Irving Fryar and Rodney Peete of the Philadelphia Eagles.

They’ll be joined by other celebrities such as model Niki Taylor, Daisy Fuentes, Carmen Electra, Sammy Sosa, Star Jones, Vivica A. Fox, Lela Rochon and Holly Robinson Peete. Neiman Marcus is providing the designer clothes.

Last year’s event raised $100,000 for charity. Proceeds this year will benefit the McBrown Foundation, Don Shula Foundation, Susan G. Komen Foundation and other cancer awareness groups.
