The "Jonas blessing" has become a real phenomenon in sports. Dodgers OF Cody Bellinger, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton all achieved major milestones after attending Jonas Brothers concerts. Nick Jonas coined the phrase on "The Tonight Show" in 2021, noting Bellinger won the World Series, Mahomes won the Super Bowl, and Hamilton surpassed the all-time F1 record.

Now, the Jonas Brothers are set to headline the Week 1 halftime show between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Youngest brother Nick Jonas told ESPN he has identified the next athlete to potentially receive the honor: Cam Skattebo.

The second-year New York Giants running back attended a Jonas Brothers show in Newark, and Kevin Jonas played golf with him and was at the NBA Finals with quarterback Jaxson Dart. Before a 2025 season-ending dislocated right ankle, Skattebo rushed for 410 yards and five touchdowns in eight games. Jonas, a lifelong Giants fan, is hopeful the blessing carries over for the team in 2026.
