"Most Valuable Performer" premiers Thursday with Cleveland Browns player from Waukesha

 

WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- "MVP" is taking on a whole new meaning for a group of NFL players.

A new television special is seeking out the "Most Valuable Performer" off the field.

NFL players will get a chance to showcase their random skills in a live, one-hour show Thursday night.

The show consists of seven players and will be hosted by LL Cool J. 

Fans voted players in and they'll be able to vote who moves on.

You may recognize one of the performers, Waukesha native and Cleveland Browns player Kevin Zeitler and he's bringing a special guest!

"Amber. She's a dog. She's a mix of corgi, collie, and lab. She'll do anything for some food. So we trained her in a little football and we're excited to show people," Kevin Zeitler said.

Amber was actually adopted from the Elmbrook Humane Society.

Kevin and Amber will both reveal their tricks Thursday night on "Most Valuable Performer."

You can watch it right here on CBS 58 at 7 p.m.
