Who Will Morgan Wallen Walk Out With For His I’m the Problem Tour Debut? Here’s His Six Best NFL Cameos

When Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem tour kicks off Friday (June 20) at Houston’s NRG Stadium, all eyes will be looking to see if he continues his trend of walking out to the stage with local pro athletes. It’s become a highlight of the shows and the walk outs — broadcast on the venue’s jumbotrons — pump up the audience as much as they do Wallen.

NRG Stadium is home to the NFL’s Houston Texans and the team doesn’t report to training camp until Sunday, June 22, so our bet is on All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. making the walk with him.

Wallen told Apple Music Country last week that he’s been in training himself, getting ready for the 20-date football stadium outing which will hit 10 cities through Sept. 13. Among his opening acts are Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock and Thomas Rhett.

 “I spend months at this point getting ready to get on tour, just getting in shape,” he said. “I don’t have to be in any kind of crazy shape to record in the studio. With how big my stage is, how much I run around, and how much effort that me and the guys put into it, I don’t think you would know that by just listening to the record.”

Wallen remains on top of the charts, as I’m The Problem stays at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for its fourth consecutive week since its May 16 release.

Below are six Wallen walkouts from the 2023-2024 One Night at a Time tour with NFL greats. We’ll also be looking to see if the walkout music has changed from “Broadway Girls,” his 2022 collaboration with Lil Durk.
