Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart introduced his piano skills to a national television audience Thursday night with the Adele song “Hello.”
Stewart was among six NFL players performing their lesser-known off-the-field skills on CBS talent competition “MVP: Most Valuable Performer.” He made the final cut, but another player took home the top honors.
Stewart, accompanied by three backup singers who hummed along in the background, took a mostly instrumental route for his performance.
Three celebrity judges pared the performers down to a final three. “Hello” carried the Panthers running back into this elite trio along with Baltimore Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker and Cleveland Browns guard Kevin Zeitler.
