U.S. military personnel based in Germany were invited to attend the event, where they could spend the day training like NFL players with drills like the 40-yard dash, verticle jump and quarterback arm challenge.

In addition to assisting with drills and motivating military members in attendance, Villanueva signed autographs for deployed military and shared stories from his time serving.
