Ella Langley has a Thanksgiving Halftime Show performance coming up for the NFL, and Pat McAfee wants Drake there.

Drake is not going to be the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer this year. Instead, it is going to be JAY-Z, a man he reportedly has tension with right now. In fact, one could argue that the ship has sailed as it pertains to Drake ever doing the Halftime Show.

However, there are some folks who are holding out hope that Drizzy can someday get involved in other ways. For instance, Pat McAfee and his co-hosts would like for Drake to pop out during the NFL's Thanksgiving Game Halftime Show.

This year, Ella Langley will perform, and it is expected that "Choosin Texas" will be on the menu. That said, McAfee and his co-hosts firmly believe that Drake needs to be there to perform "Solar Eclipse" with her.

Drake seems to agree with this, as he liked a video repost of the Pat McAfee clip on Instagram.

Drake Is On Board With Pat McAfee

While this would be a lot of fun, and fans would go absolutely bonkers, it is unlikely that we actually get to see this. Even if Langley does want to bring out Drake, the decision rests in the hands of the NFL.

Furthermore, one has to wonder if Drake would really pull up for a Thanksgiving game. There are a lot of factors at play that would have to go 100 percent right for any of this to work out.

Regardless, fans can dream about the potential possibilities here. It would be cool to see Drake at least get some sort of NFL opportunity. Although you shouldn't hold your breath. For now, this is just pure fantasy.
