16th Annual PNE at Super Bowl 50
Over PNE’s 15 year history, the PNE brand has evolved by teaching active and former NFL players the value of networking. The network started by inviting 10 players and 10 corporate executives to a lounge owned and operated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Chidi Ahanotu. Each year an active or former player has served as the host in hopes of adding players serves as the host and executives to the PNE Network. Former players such as Ryan McNeil (San Diego Chargers), Robert Porcher (Detroit Lions), Dave Krieg (Seattle Seahawks) and active players such as Karlos Dansby (Cleveland Browns), Vernon Davis (San Francisco 49ers) and Chris Harris (Denver Broncos) have aligned with the brand to advance a personal or business objective.
