White Collar star Matt Bomer got on the Football field in NYC to show the world that he is just as good at playing football as he is at acting. The event was EA Sports Annual Pro-Am Gamers vs Famers football game, pitting celebrity stars with legendary football stars in four-quarter competition and marking the launch of Madden 12.
Bomer was joined by Ryan McPartlin (aka Devon ‘Captain Awesome’ Woodcomb in NBC’s Chuck), Terry Crews (The Expendables 2) and Chris Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler in NBC’s Law & Order SVU) as well as several other actors and athletes. Bomer played on the Famers team, under the coaching of Tony Dungy (Head Coach of the Super Bowl XLI Champion Indianapolis Colts). The Gamers were coached by Rodney Harrison (Two-Time Super Bowl champion (XXXVIII, XXXIX) with the New England Patriots).
