She moved to New York and chose to pursue modeling full-time after two years. Hosk told Fashionista that despite bidding farewell to the court, her rigorous basketball training had helped her get ready for the physical demands of the modeling business. Hosk has experience working for well-known fashion brands like Dior, Guess, and Dolce & Gabbana. She also participated in the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show for eight years as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

Joel McHale – Football

A career as an actor, comedian, producer, screenwriter, and presenter was developed by Joel McHale. The majority of people, though, are ignorant of his college-level football career. He was first sought out to row for the University of Washington, but he ultimately decided to play football. He had little opportunity to pursue a professional playing career, but a career in television ended up being his calling. McHale, who is most known for his work as the host of “The Soup,” his roles in “Spider-Man 2,” and “Ted,” also admits to being a fan of the Seattle Seahawks football team, though he doesn’t go into much detail about his previous involvement with the game.
