YouTube megastar IShowSpeed has crashed GWS' training - competing with Giants players across a number of competitions.
Darren Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed, was surprise guest on the track at the Giants pre-season practice on Friday afternoon.
Out of nowhere, the GWS social media tweeted a video of IShowSpeed, who has 33 million-plus YouTube subscribers, donning a Giants jersey before continuing the content through the afternoon.
