Most Desirable Players: Girls' Gridiron Guide to Football Movies
Whenever there's a movie about football, there are undoubtedly one or two (or three or four) very attractive players. Here's a guide to some of our favorites in film.
Rod Tidwell in 'Jerry Maguire' (1996)
Cuba Gooding, Jr. won an Oscar for his "show me the money" performance as the charismatic Rod Tidwell.
Alan Bosley in 'Remember the Titans' (2000)
Ryan Gosling makes the ladies swoon, especially in the role of this football player.
Lance Harbor in 'Varsity Blues' (1999)
The role of the Coyotes' quarterback helped the late Paul Walker become one of Hollywood's most likeable and attractive leading men.
Shane Falco in 'The Replacements' (2000)
Keanu played a former quarterback who got a second chance at his dream - and he looked awfully good doing it.
Mox in 'Varsity Blues' (1999)
Forget the 'Creek.' James Van Der Beek showed a whole new side to himself as Mox, the Coyotes' quarterback hottie.
Stefen Djordjevic in 'All The Right Moves' (1983)
Before their was Mox or Lance Harbor, there was Stefen Djordjevic, err, Tom Cruise. It was the '80s and this high school jock had all the right moves.
"Dodge" Connelly in 'Leatherheads' (2008)
George Clooney directs and stars in this film, playing the captain of the Duluth Bulldogs. Clooney and football, could any girl resist?
Willie Beaman in 'Any Given Sunday' (1999)
Jamie Foxx goes from vomiting during the team huddle to overly-confident "Steamin' Willie Beaman" in this football drama from Oliver Stone.
Jack Lengyel in 'We Are Marshall' (2006)
He's not a player, but it's hard to take your eyes off Coach Matthew McConaughey. Alright, alright, alright indeed…
Jenko in '22 Jump Street' (2014)
Channing Tatum plays an undercover cop posing as a football god -- all while trying to take down a drug kingpin on a college campus. We approve.
