NFL actors- Best and Worst

[Cedrique]

I'll start it off

Fred Dryer - from small roles on CHiPs and numerous appearances on Cheers to a very long run on Hunter. A true professional.
OJ Simpson - displayed good range with roles in classic comedies like Naked Gun to more dramatic roles like Capricorn one and a small part on Roots. Also in HBO favorite 1st and 10.
Alex Karros - Not sure if he was a good actor or if he just hit the sitcom lottery by getting in on an 80's trend of rich white people adopting African American midgets but he did have a 7 year run.
Jim Brown -good at everything he did, but never got any real starring roles that I can remember.
Brian Bosworth - I think this guy really did peak in college...

Had to look it up, I thought he got drafted too. But it turns out he went undrafted in '95. He then signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL but was cut his first season.

How about Terry Crews? Bounced around for six season. I remember him from Brooklyn nine-nine.

As far as the worst goes I gotta go with Gronk. He is terrible and his commercials are unwatchable

Pittsburgh Steeler UDFA DL, cut in camp because he couldn't beat out guys like Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood.
