A few former and current NFL players have gone on to have some success in movies and TV shows. Household names like former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre had a cameo in the 1998 comedy There’s Something About Mary. Likewise, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady made an appearance as himself alongside well-known actor Mark Wahlberg in Ted 2 back in 2015.
Former Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler took it a step further and co-starred with his wife Kristin Cavallari in a reality TV show on the E! Network from 2018-2020.
While NFL players might not be as well-known as the big-name NBA players, for comparison.
