Two-time Super Bowl champion Anthony B. Smith has been named Vice President of 2B3D and will lead the Methuselah Mythics, one of the first competitive teams in Astro Bowl, 2B3D’s groundbreaking sci-fi sports franchise. Joining him on the digital gridiron are former NFL standouts Jamie Winborn as team manager of the WASP-12 Miners, and Julius Williams as manager of the Aquarius Trappers.
“I’m extremely excited to head the WASP-12 Miners,” said Winborn, known for his fierce play with the San Francisco 49ers. “Much like the player I was, our team will bring stinging competition to the gridiron with skills that are unmatched. Get ready to get stung!”

Smith first revealed his new role during an appearance on The Chris Voss Show, discussing 2B3D’s vision for gaming, veterans’ support, and Web3 technology.

“My life has always been about pushing boundaries—on the field, in business, and in the community,” said Smith. “At 2B3D, we’re building more than a game. It’s a movement that connects, challenges, and transforms lives. That’s the kind of team I’m proud to lead.”

Leadership On and Off the Field

Beyond his playing days, Smith co-founded The Battle of the Trenches Foundation (BOTF), a nonprofit that empowers at-risk youth through academic support, NFL-style coaching, and life skills training. His passion for mentorship aligns perfectly with 2B3D’s broader social mission.
“Anthony’s energy, discipline, and commitment to impact go far beyond football. We’re thrilled to have him lead one of Astro Bowl’s most iconic teams and help shape the future of sports inside the ActionVerse.”

Williams, best remembered for his time with the Jacksonville Panthers, brought his own fire to the ActionVerse announcement:
“We’re not the biggest, fastest, or smartest—but in 2B3D, we’re all about action. It’s dangerous in Aquarius. We trap until there’s nothing left. Watch your step—fish out of water don’t last long around here!”

Astro Bowl and the ActionVerse

Astro Bowl is a blending sci-fi storytelling, play-to-earn mechanics, and real-world athlete engagement inside 2B3D’s expansive metaverse known as the ActionVerse. Players can build stadiums, customize robotic avatars, and influence live storylines, all while earning rewards in a Web3-driven economy.

The leadership expansion also signals more updates to come via 2B3D’s official podcast, Into the ActionVerse, hosted by Bell, exploring how gaming, sports, and social impact collide in the digital world.

Coming Soon: Virtual Mental Health Support

In addition to gaming innovation, 2B3D is preparing to launch MedQuest, a virtual mental health platform providing 24/7 therapy access, group support, and secure consultations—integrated directly into familiar, gamified environments to help break down barriers to care, especially for veterans.
