The USA Wheelchair Football League (USAWFL), a program of Move United, will host its 3rd annual Veteran All-Star Game on Friday, April 24, as part of the 2026 NFL Draft festivities in Pittsburgh. The game will kick off at 10:00 a.m. ET and be played at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center (Hall D).

This game will pit Team Stars against Team Stripes and be comprised of 18 wounded Veterans who play in the USA Wheelchair Football League. These Veterans, who represent various military branches, were nominated by their home teams to play in this game. One of them is Jon Brace, a Marine Corps Veteran who is the quarterback and captain of the Adaptive Sports New England Patriots.

“I’m honored to have been selected to play in the USAWFL 3rd Annual Veteran All-Star Game. Playing last year as a rookie was an incredible experience, and I’m looking forward to representing my team and the league even more strongly this year,” said Team Stars Quarterback Brace.
