• 5 NFL Stars Gone Country: Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman and More

    Peyton Manning's Children's Hospital fundraiser took a fun turn last weekend when the Denver Broncos quarterback took the stage with headliner Dierks Bentley to perform a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues."

Here are five country releases from acts that got their start on the gridiron.

He wasn't quite up to Terry Bradshaw-levels of performance while performing Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" with Dierks Bentley over the weekend.
