Bernie Williams
This center fielder was once considered to be a staple of the New York Yankees when the team was unstoppable back in the ‘90s. However, the organization spent a couple of years before they figured out where he would be most useful. George Steinbrenner, the team’s owner, failed attempts to trade him ended up being more advantageous for the team. During his baseball career, he started to let his passion for music and the guitar run wild. In 2003, he released his first album while still playing pro baseball! When he decided to hang up his jersey in 2006, he focused on his music full-time.

Carl Weathers
Before Carl Weathers went on to be a sensation on the silver screen, he was a gridiron first. He did not get drafted after finishing college in 1970, although he eventually signed with the Oakland Raiders and played seven games for them over the course of two seasons. After his brief stint in the NFL, he played for the B.C. Lions in CFL from 1971 to 1974. When he went into acting, he made it big. The ex-football player bagged the role of Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise opposite Sylvester Stallone. He kept acting alongside other entertainment industry titans. He starred in Predator alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Happy Gilmore with Adam Sandler. Quite the opposite of some people here, he managed to achieve more fame when he took on his second career.
