Joel McHale
It’s hard to imagine the 6-foot-4, handsome, big-foreheaded Joel McHale playing any sport. We mainly imagine him drinking scotch at home alone while texting endlessly with an unknown person on his Blueberry. Yeah, we’re referencing his character, Jeff Winger, from Community.
While he loved theater and acting, he initially got into college due to his athleticism. First, the University of Washington recruited him to join the rowing team, but later on transitioned to football. His teammates were there because of football scholarships, so he had a pretty tall hill to overcome. In the end, he never appeared in a game, so he focused solely on his time with a local sketch comedy group.
