Some of them decided to remain in the limelight by going into acting. Of course, it is easier for certain athletes like pro wrestlers. After all, their field combines sports and performance at the same time already. Others did not have it so easy, however.

Terry Crews
For Terry Crews, his first love was neither acting nor football. It was art! He got an art scholarship before he earned a football scholarship as a defensive end for Western Michigan University. In 1991, he got drafted by the Los Angeles Rams. After he retired in 1997, he went to Los Angeles to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. He definitely did that by charming everyone with his comedic timing. We are glad to hear that the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star continues to paint and sketch!
