Michael Strahan

When Michael Strahan was picked by the New York Giants in the second round during the 1993 NFL draft, people had high expectations of him. It was a good thing that this Texas Southern star managed to live up to them all. He was an important part of the Giants defense, even leading them in the league for two years and earning seven Pro Bowl Selections over the years. In 2007, he led the G-Men to victory at the Super Bowl. After a decade and a half, fans got to see him without the mask! The ex-Defensive Player of the Year went into the television industry after his retirement from the field. He guest starred on Live! With Regis and Kelly until he ended up taking over Regis Philbin. He was the co-host of Live! With Kelly and Michael from 2012 to 2016. While he no longer does morning television, he went on to host ABC’s The $100,000 Pyramid.

David Beckham

David Beckham ended up becoming one of the most famous faces in soccer since he first began playing for Manchester United during the ‘90s. He spent two decades playing for the world’s biggest clubs, although he eventually crossed the pond to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer. Nowadays, he owns his very own MLS team. In 2014, he bought a Miami-based expansion team that is set to make its debut in 2020. If the team does not prove to be successful, Beckham still has $450 million in the bank, so nothing is stopping from trying his hand at other endeavors!
