Every athlete who has competed on 'The Masked Singer'

- NBA legend Dwight Howard was unmasked during the sixth season premiere of "The Masked Singer."
- He joins Chloe Kim, Tony Hawk, Rob Gronkowski, and other pro-athlete "Masked Singer" alumni.
The first celebrity to ever be unmasked on the show when it premiered in January 2019 was NFL player Antonio Brown as the Hippo.
Brown turned up on the show while benched by the Pittsburgh Steelers for skipping practices. Later that year, in September 2019, he was accused of sexual misconduct and turned himself in to the police in January 2020 after he was charged with felony burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, and criminal mischief. That June, he pleaded no contest to the battery and burglary charges and received two years of probation.
He's now a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On the show, he performed "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown.
The Deer was revealed to be Terry Bradshaw, an NFL legend, during the first season.
The four-time Super Bowl champion sang two songs: "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons and "Get Your Shine On" by Florida Georgia Line.
The first elimination of season two was the Egg, who was revealed as Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir.
The two-time Olympian only lasted for an episode during season two. As the Egg, he sang "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga and "One Way or Another" by Blondie.
The Panda was none other than former boxer Laila Ali.
Ali, the daughter of boxing icon Muhammad Ali and a talented boxer in her own right, lasted for a single show as the pastel-hued panda. She performed "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson and "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled.
In the penultimate episode of season two, NBA player Victor Oladipo was revealed to be the Thingamajig.
The Miami Heat star has also released music of his own, including an album, "V.O.," in 2018.
Oladipo sang "Easy" by the Commodores, "Rainbow" by Kacey Musgraves, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" by The Temptations, "Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Bublé, "Caught Up" by Usher, "Ordinary People" by John Legend, and "Winter Wonderland" by Bing Crosby.
Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk was unmasked as the Elephant.
The famous skateboarder tried his hand at music during "The Masked Singer." Hawk was the first member of Group B to be eliminated in season three, so he only sang "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure before leaving.
NFL star Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski was unmasked as the White Tiger.
None of Gronk's four performances required much singing. The Buccaneers player performed "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, "We Will Rock You" by Queen, and "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, before getting knocked out of the show.
Former pitcher and World Series champion Barry Zito was the Rhino.
The former San Francisco Giant proved he had vocal chops — he came in fourth place overall!
Zito performed "Have a Little Faith in Me" by John Hiatt, "Nice to Meet Ya" by Niall Horan, "Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, "What a Man Gotta Do" by the Jonas Brothers, "10,000 Hours" by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber, "Die a Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" by the Righteous Brothers, and "Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw.
The Baby Alien was unmasked as former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez. He was the first athlete revealed in season four.
Sanchez was able to sing two songs before getting eliminated: "Faith" by George Michael and "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons.
He also has the distinction of having the first costume that involved a puppet — he'll forever be in "Masked Singer" history.
NBA star Lonzo Ball was unmasked as the Whatchamacallit.
The Chicago Bulls player made it just over halfway through season four. Ball rapped "I Wish" by Skee-Lo, "Money Maker" by Ludacris and Pharrell, and "Lean Back" by Terror Squad, featuring Fat Joe and Remy Ma.
Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim was revealed as the Jellyfish.
The Olympic snowboarder showed off impressive vocal chops when she performed "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie, "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa, and "Stay" by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko.
The second overall reveal of season five was Caitlyn Jenner, who is an Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, as the Phoenix.
Jenner was only able to sing "Tik Tok" by Kesha before getting eliminated from season five.
YouTuber (and boxer!) Logan Paul was revealed as Grandpa Monster.
Paul performed "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)" by Lou Bega and "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett before getting the boot.
The first reveal of season six was NBA player Dwight Howard as the Octopus.
The Los Angeles Lakers star was only able to sing Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" before getting eliminated.
