Guess Who This Football Fella Turned Into!

Before this football fella was one of the top country artists of his time, he was just another ballin' boy getting ready to score a touchdown in Delhi, Louisiana.

This sporty star has had a very long and impressive career ... which has spanned over 30 years with over half of his 16 albums reaching the top of the charts. A talented singer, producer, and musician, you can see him performing his hit songs all over -- he's even headlined Stagecoach in the past.

Now, he has three cute kids of his own in which he shares with a fellow beloved country singer.
