Playing on the number one ranked 14U OC Seals girls flag football team, Dickens won the USA Football National Championship and attended the Pro Bowl last year on behalf of the NFL. She also wrote and recorded a pop song with the dream of it becoming the NFL theme song for females in flag. Her dream became a reality when her song "We Run This House" was played in front of 60,000 people at the 2024 Pro Bowl.

• Military Hero of the Game: Sergeant First Class (Ret.) RAFAEL "A-ROD" RODRIGUEZ will be surprised during the third quarter as the Military Hero of the Game. Sgt. Rodriguez joined the United States Army in 1996. Following his initial training, he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. After a few years with the 505th, Sgt. Rodriguez was reassigned to the 29th Infantry Division and deployed to Bosnia for a peacekeeping mission in 2000. During his deployment in Bosnia, the tragic events of September 11th unfolded, and he was deployed to Afghanistan. In 2003, Sgt. Rodriguez was transferred to the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment for the invasion of Iraq. He undertook multiple deployments to Iraq in 2004-2005, 2005-2006, and 2007-2008. In early 2009, Sgt. Rodriguez deployed once more, this time with the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment to Afghanistan, returning in early 2010. By October 2010, he had completed his military obligations and transitioned to civilian life, earning numerous commendations and awards.
• RISE with the Rams: For the seventh consecutive season, the Rams teamed up with RISE, a national nonprofit that educates and empowers the sports community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice and improve race relations, for a season-long leadership and community-building program featuring local high school football programs with a cross-section of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
