From a long line of NFL players turned actors. Jim Brown, Fred Dryer, Merlon Olson, Terry Crews, John Washington.

Didn't know that about Carl Weathers. Three more NFL greats who were iconic actors when I was growing up: Alex Karras, Bubba Smith, and, OJ Simpson.

I remember watching Hunter as a kid here in the UK. I loved it. I didn't know Fred Dryer played in the NFL, let alone he was drafted in the 1st round by the Giants.

I knew Carl Weathers played in the NFl.  Anyone ever watch any Fred "the Hammer" Williamson movies?
