Yeah that's a good one too. But again, the positions and the level of sport Omar Epps competed in are pretty untouchable IMO. Starting RB as a Freshman for a major college(I would imagine ESU would also be in a BCS conference), drafted after his freshman year from a final 4 team to the NBA. Heavyweight boxing champion and star CF for an Indians pennant team. Tough to beat that.

In all honesty, it's very hard to argue against them. Quaid and Air Bud would be the best bets.

I'm going with Air Bud. Name me one movie he's done that he didn't play the role of an athlete.

Rob Brown was a basketball player on Finding Forrester and Coach Carter. He's about to be Ernie Davis in The Express. Good start for the young guy.
