Demetrius "D.H." Harris

Playmakers (ESPN, 2003)

Team: Cougars

Position: Running Back

There's no doubt that D.H. is a stellar sportsman, but there is plenty of unnecessary roughness in this gridiron gangsta's shady past that will keep the defensive ends at bay.

Zagreb Shkenusky

1st & 10 (HBO, 1984)

Team: California Bulls

Position: Special Teams

While he was playing as the Bulls' resident Bulgarian ball-booter, Zagreb proved when it came to executing those extra point plays - nothing was lost in translation.

Drew Boyd

Queer as Folk (Showtime, 2000)

Team: Pittsburgh Ironmen

Position: Quarterback

Drew pulled a quarterback sneak in his personal life before coming out of the closet with an on-screen kiss that cost him his job, but the Ironmen called an audible and brought him back after a long losing streak.

Derwin Davis

The Game (BET, 2006)

Team: San Diego Sabres

Position: Wide Receiver

With little Derwin Jr. to provide for, this former playboy playmaker could stop breaking hearts off the field and focus on breaking out on the field to become the superstar he was meant to be.

Brian "Smash" Williams

Friday Night Lights (NBC, 2006)

Teams: Dillon High School Panthers; Texas A&M Aggies

Position: Running Back

Having fumbled his way through foul-ups with steroid abuse, racism and multiple injuries, Smash has managed to grow from a raucous raw talent into a promising pro-to-be.

Clark Kent

Smallville (WB, 2001)

Team: Smallville High School Crows

Position: Quarterback

With "faster than a speeding bullet" as one of the highlights of his resume, Clark is a sure thing - though it does make us wonder why the Crows coach didn't make him a running back in a Wildcat formation.

Finn Hudson

Glee (FOX, 2009)

Team: William McKinley High Titans

Position: Quarterback

Playing both sides of the field by being a nerd and a jock could help keep Finn from getting too cocky. Not to mention, he immediately qualifies as our first-string pick to lead an epic rendition of "The Super Bowl Shuffle."

John J. "J.J." Pryor, Jr.

American Dreams (NBC, 2002)

Teams: East Catholic Fighting Crusaders; Lehigh University Mountain Hawks

Position: Running Back

Even though he didn't live out his father's dream of playing football at Notre Dame, you can't get much more "All-American" than this small-town, clean-cut ball player -- he went from facing down the line of scrimmage to facing down skirmishes with the hostiles over in Vietnam and back again.

Jack Pappas

The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 2008)

Team: Ulysses S. Grant High Lancers

Position: Quarterback

Jack's über-religious nature may come off more Holy Spirit than school spirit, but this pious passer has more in his playbook than just a couple of Hail Marys and the Immaculate Reception.

Albert Clifford "A.C." Slater Sanchez

Saved By the Bell (NBC, 1989)

Team: Bayside High Tigers

Position: Quarterback

Sure, sometimes Slater's chauvinism might put the "pig" in pigskin, but he's earned it - it isn't everyday that you see an athlete that excels in four sports and can pull off a pair of zebra pants.

Stefan Salvatore

The Vampire Diaries (CW, 2009)

Team: Mystic Falls High Timberwolves

Position: Wide Receiver

He just recently tried out for -- and made -- his high-school football team and it's too early to tell if he'll play in a game, but adding a vampire like Stefan to the roster brings its own unique pros (never getting caught in a coffin corner) and cons (having to schedule pesky post-sundown practices).
