The person pictured above is Fred Dryer, who happened to celebrate a birthday on Thursday. I say “happened” because I coincidentally wanted to write about former Rams who became actors on TV and in movies and then I saw this tweet about one of the most notable NFL players to cross over. Dryer played for the Rams from 1972 to 1981, reaching the Pro Bowl in 1975, but then he also starred in the TV show Hunter from 1984 to 1990, with a TV movie in 1995 and a revival in 2003.
Happy birthday to Rams Legend, @Fred_Dryer!
