Michael Teo's off-field talents: '4th and Forever' Overtime
Football players have always been measured by their talents on the field. But thanks to reality TV and social technologies (like Twitter and Facebook), fans are finding out their favorite players can do a lot more than run, pass, kick and tackle.
Take Poly High's defensive captain Michael Teo, for example. In this Web extra, the multi-talented lineman shows that shutting down opposing offenses isn't the only thing that comes naturally.
If Teo is lucky enough to make it in the NFL he still may be able to capitalize on his songwriting skills. Here are a few other NFL players who have achieved fame outside the lines:
Emmitt Smith - It probably came as shock to football fans at first, but winning has a way of making everything better. When Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith brought home the trophy on "Dancing With The Stars" in 2006, nobody was making jokes about this gridiron legend having two left feet.

Chad Ochocinco - Even before changing his last name, this outspoken wide receiver was known for his uniqueness. But earlier this year, all eyes were on him during a four-day trial for Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer. Safe to say, #85 will be using his hands for years to come.

Chicago Bears (1986) - Before there was reality TV -- heck, before there was the Internet -- there was this classic video from the Chicago Bears. If you are too young to have seen this before, just know that back in the '80s everybody was doing it.
