Former Clemson linebacker Bryton Constantin is featured in Netflix’s new reality show, Squid Game: The Challenge. The show, loosely based on the pop culture hit series Squid Game features contestants competing in a series of high-stakes children's games in pursuit of a $4.56 million cash prize.

According to NBC, “Netflix's 'Squid Game: The Challenge' turns dystopian drama into real-life competition — minus the death. The spinoff competition show drew initial criticism when it was announced, with many arguing its premise goes against the original show's message.”

Constantin elected to step away from football in 2020 following a series of knee injuries and is one of the first people featured on the show.
