Will Smith will play for the NFL?

Will Smith, who has starred in such films as “Ali” and “The Pursuit of Happyness,” is reportedly interested in playing for the NFL. According to a report from TMZ, the 46-year-old actor has been training with former NFL quarterbacking greats like Jeff Garcia and Jake Delhomme.

Sources say that Smith is serious about making a return to football and has even been in contact with NFL teams about potentially signing a contract. Smith famously played the role of Muhammad Ali in the 2001 biopic “Ali” and also starred as a former NFL player in the 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness.” It remains to be seen if any NFL team will take a chance on the veteran actor, but it would certainly be an interesting story if Smith were to make a return to the gridiron.

Will Smith NFL

Will Smith, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star, is set to play for the NFL. The 36-year-old actor has been cast as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young in an upcoming episode of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Smith will be appearing in a skit with current 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who will be played by actor Mario Lopez. Smith is no stranger to playing football, as he starred in the 2009 film The Blind Side. He also played a football player in the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness. This isn’t the first time that Sunday Night Football has featured celebrities in its skits. In the past, the show has featured actors like Adam Sandler, Justin Timberlake, and Rob Lowe.

Smith’s football career.

Will Smith played football in high school and college. He was a wide receiver on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he didn’t make it to the NFL. However, that didn’t stop him from trying out for the league. In 2004, he worked out with the New Orleans Saints, but he wasn’t able to make the team. In 2007, he worked out with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he again didn’t make the team. Despite not making it to the NFL, Smith still has a love for the game of football. He’s even said that he would like to coach one day.

It’s unclear if Will Smith will actually suit up and play in an NFL game, but it would be pretty awesome to see him out on the field. After all, he is a pretty good athlete. If nothing else, it would be interesting to see him in an NFL uniform.
