However, before he became known as an actor or wrestler he was an American football player who had aspirations to play in the National Football League.
Those who know his story understand that he was not just the 'average guy with a dream' but instead was a very talented player who played on the University of Miami with several players who went to the National Football League and whom he might have joined had he not injured his back during his time in university.
Now, he gets to act out what life would have been like as a 'retired' National Football League star with his new show "Ballers" which he will start filming in November 2014. The anticipation for this show has been high with fans and also some social media entertainment observers who are wondering how it might impact the relationship he has with some of his friends who happen to be players in the National Football League.
The NFL is currently having a 'crisis' in terms of public relations and as such has some individuals in the National Football League head office very, very concerned about how their league will look with regard to some of the issues that have become public news in the press.
