ESPN Madden NFL 20 Celebrity Tournament Bracket

We first learned of ESPN’s celebrity tournament this past week and now the matchups are underway. The Round of 16 will feature a number of interesting matchups in the bracket. For example, there’s Katie Nolan and Pat McAfee going one-on-one in the first round. Apparently, Katie will be using the New England Patriots and Tom Brady will still be on the roster. Could that give her an advantage?

Also in the ESPN Madden NFL 20 Celebrity tournament bracket, Snoop Dogg goes head-to-head with Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce. Many people believe Snoop is a favorite in this field due to the fact he’s streaming games daily. He’s also a playable character in Madden 20 Superstar KO mode.
