NFL players frequently join for the Nickelodeon Valuable Player (NVP) announcements, culminating in signature sliming celebrations; for instance, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was slimed after earning the Week 13 NVP in 2021 for his 317-yard, three-touchdown performance.[35] Similarly, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette received the honor and sliming for Week 12 of that season after rushing for 150 yards and four touchdowns.[36] In 2025, Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was named Week 5 NVP and featured in the show's slime tradition.[37] Nickelodeon stars and other celebrities, such as singer Tate McRae in a 2021 Fantasy Showdown or rapper Offset in a 2023 Celebrity Pick Party, participate for reactions and picks, fostering cross-promotion with Nickelodeon properties.[38][39] By Season 4, the show expanded interactive elements and social media integrations.

For instance, a Playoff Preview Special aired on January 11, 2023, ahead of the divisional round, providing in-depth youth spotlights and slimed predictions.[52] Similarly, in 2025, a Wild Card-themed episode on January 8 preceded an hour-long Nickelodeon broadcast of the Texans-Chargers game, extending the show's runtime to delve into playoff narratives and rookie contributions.[53] In 2025 episodes, NFL Slimetime highlighted rookie impacts through dedicated segments, exemplified by Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels receiving the NVP award in multiple instances, including Week 4 on October 2, 2024, and the Divisional Round on January 22, 2025.[54][55] These episodes featured interviews and slime-filled challenges focusing on emerging talents like Daniels, underscoring their influence on team dynamics and fan engagement during the season.[56] The show has integrated cultural moments addressing social issues, such as player mental health, through its recurring youth spotlights segment, which profiles young athletes and ties their stories to broader NFL wellness initiatives.[52] For example, episodes in 2024 and 2025 incorporated discussions on mental health benefits of sports.NVP Award
Award Overview and Process
