Joel McHale
The comedian and “Community” star walked onto the Washington Huskies football team as a tight end in the early ’90s. “He came and worked hard,” teammate Ernie Conwell, who went onto an 11-year NFL career as a tight end, told ESPN of McHale. “We kind of prided ourselves on being tough-nosed and hard-working and he fit right in there perfectly with us. He wasn’t great, but he had everything he needed: desire and want-to. He was tough, he could catch the ball and he wasn’t afraid to put his body on the line.”
