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?
