While Curry won't be able to defend his title as he prepares for the Paris Olympics, there are five former champions in the 2024 field, including Fish and ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Other stars set to compete are Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, ex-Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and actor Miles Teller.
