Fifty years later, the athlete turned actor sees parallels in how he found success in two of the most competitive occupations in the world. His drive is fueled by a need to survive and a fear of what will happen if he gives in. That mindset propelled him from New Orleans to a pro football career in Oakland and eventually Hollywood. But before that, he was Carl Weathers, undrafted linebacker. His NFL career lasted only two years.
And, to this day, he remembers the words spoken to him by a legendary coach that ended it. From football to gymnastics to, yes, boxing, his obsession with the drawing applause and approval he received through competition and performance fueled him in every endeavor. By the time he got his athletic scholarship to St. Augustine High School, he performed in nonunion productions in choirs and with bands across New Orleans.
Weathers says there are still records out there somewhere of him singing with a handful of companies. But at the time football was still his top priority. His talents eventually landed him at San Diego State, as a transfer student, where he played defensive end for Hall of Fame coach Don Coryell. After that season, he went unselected in the 1970 NFL draft but his connection to an old friend helped him land on his feet.
Hall had become a linebackers coach for the Raiders. Weathers called him to let him know he was interested in Oakland, and he was given a shot at making the roster.
