There’s a lot of work put in by football players behind the scenes that fans don’t see. Not only are they practicing throughout the week where fans are unable to watch, but they’re constantly working out, watching film, attending meetings and staying in shape at all costs.
Steven Jackson, Torry Holt and Orlando Pace all know that very well, having put together extremely successful careers with the Rams. Practices were especially tough during their playing days, since teams were allowed to hold two-a-days then and there were far more padded practices.
Those three Rams legends put celebrities through a football practice on a new show called “Game On!” and trained them for a kicking competition at the Coliseum before L.A. took on the Bears last season.
The two celebrities were comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Ian Karmel, who hilariously went through receiving and blocking drills, as well as kicking practice. After practicing, the two comedians had to kick a 20-yard field goal at the Coliseum as part of the game show.
Tennis legend Venus Williams also joined in on the fun while in attendance at the game and attempted the kick, too.
It’s hilarious that Karmel hit the crossbar not once, but twice. Key nailed the kick with ease, while Williams’ attempt was pulled left of the mark.
Rob Gronkowski was also on the show as part of the opposing team, and it seems Karmel wants to overtake him in the tight end ranks.
