For the second year in a row Carrie Underwood will have the honor of performing Waiting All Day for Sunday Night for NBC's Sunday Night Football. However, the country singer won't be the only star featured for the introductory theme song.

Together, the players make up five Super Bowl Rings and a total of eight first-round draft picks. A number of the football stars are already visible in the two-minute behind-the-scenes featurette released by NBC Sports July 28 to promote the song (featured below). The featurette also played in select movie theatres across the country.

With talk of Underwood performing at the Super Bowl Half Time Show in 2015, her Waiting All Day For Sunday Night performance might become critical in setting her up as an established performer for the NHL.

Sunday Night Football, as well as Underwood's rendition of the theme song, returns to NBC on September 7.
