It's been just over five months now since former Oakland Raider and "Rocky" actor Carl Weathers passed away at the age of 76.
Weathers played two seasons as a linebacker for the Raiders -- 1970 and 1971 -- before leaving the game of football to pursue his acting career. He would go on to serve many memorable roles, including Apollo Creed in the "Rocky" movies, Chubbs Peterson in "Happy Gilmore," Colonel Al Dillon in "Predator" and Greef Karga in "The Mandalorian."
"For a rookie? Come on," he said. "I mean, these guys today come into the NFL, and they're really, I think in many ways, more mature because of the systems today. And of coruse, the NFL is there and really kind of marshalling what the future is going to be for them when they come into the NFL. So, young guys today, I think, are far more prepared in some ways.
