The 2010 Pop Warner Adrenalyn Bowl presented by Panini - the game before the game - will take place this Saturday, February 6 at Hallandale High School in Miami, Florida. This year's game will feature Greater Miami Pop Warner football teams coached by guest celebrities in celebration of the Super Bowl XLIV match up between the Indianapolis Colts and the  New Orleans Saints.

This year's festivities will kick off at 9 a.m., with the Celebrity Coached Adrenalyn Bowl starting at 11 a.m. Admission is free but donations are greatly encouraged. Greater Miami Pop Warner will be donating all proceeds from the event to the American Red Cross Haitian Relief Efforts.  The event is designed to give Pop Warner participants in South Florida the opportunity to be a part of Super Bowl week festivities.

Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro-Bowl guard Davin Joseph, accomplished singer, songwriter & producer Brian McKnight and NFL Pro-Bowler DeAngelo Williams have been announced as celebrity coaches for the 2010 Pop Warner Adrenalyn Bowl.

Former Pop Warner standout and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow headlines the all-star cast of coaches for the 2010 Pop Warner Adrenalyn Bowl. Tebow is one of the most decorated collegiate players in NCAA history, becoming the first college football player to both rush and pass for 20 touchdowns in a season, and he was also the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy in his tenure with the Florida Gators. Tebow also collected two national championship titles while at Florida, winning in 2006 and 2008.

Davin Joseph will return to his former high school (Hallandale HS) to serve as a celebrity coach for the 2010 Pop Warner Adrenalyn Bowl. In 2009, Joseph was selected to his first NFL Pro Bowl after a stellar season. He has played in 57 games with 56 starts and played in one playoff game with one start, and started the last 28 consecutive games at right guard for Tampa Bay. Joseph was a first-round selection (23rd overall) of the Buccaneers in the 2006 NFL Draft.

DeAngelo Williams is a four-year running back for the Carolina Panthers, after being selected 27th overall by the Carolina Panthers in the 2006 NFL Draft. Since being drafted, Williams has been selected to two-straight Pro Bowls, and is already the Panther's all-time leading rusher with 3,850 yards. Williams played college football at the University of Memphis, where he holds the NCAA records for most career all-purpose yards (7,573) and 100-yard rushing games (34). He also ranks fourth on the all-time NCAA rushing list with 6,026 yards.

McKnight has earned himself a spot in contemporary music history by releasing 11 albums to date, 7 of them have gone platinum, and selling over 20 million albums worldwide. Along with several Grammy nominations, McKnight has been the recipient of American Music Awards, Soul Train Awards, NAAC Image and Blockbuster Awards, and Billboard Songwriter of The Year.
