What do these five athlete bachelors have in common? They put it all out there for the world to see.

Dating is a sport,

The Last Night’s Game Team


1. The first professional athlete on "The Bachelor" was former New York Giants (NFL - National Football League) quarterback Jesse Palmer. He picked a woman at the end of the show, but instead of giving her a ring, he offered her a ticket to New York. You guessed it - it didn't work out. He continued his zest for love, hosting the show based on first impressions, "The Proposal." He is a college football analyst for ESPN, "The Bachelor" host and is married to model Emely Fardo. AND HE HAS GREAT HAIR

2. Former race car driver and Bachelorette alum turned Bachelor Arie Luyendyk may go down in history as the least favorite bachelor. He proposed to one contestant (Becca) and then had buyer's remorse before the finale aired and wanted to be with the other (Lauren). Now he and Lauren are married and have a daughter. SADLY HER NAME ISN'T ROSE

3. Former professional snowboarder Jessie Csincak may have been chosen as "the one" on DeAnna Pappas' season, but sadly it didn't work out for the two. Although he did find love, marrying Ann Lueders, who was on Jason Mesnick's season of "The Bachelor." He continued to further his five minutes of fame by hosting a net series called "Bachelorette Beatdown with Jesse Csincsak." MAXIMIZE THE OPPORTUNITY

4. Jordan Rodgers has lived his life in the shadow of his brother, Green Bay Packers (NFL) quarterback Aaron Rodgers. While Jordan "won" the show and is getting ready to walk down the aisle with the bachelorette JoJo Fletcher this year, his brother is dating actress Shailene Woodley. The two brothers do not have a good relationship, as Jordan calls out occasionally on his social media. Jordan, a former quarterback, is currently holding down a job as an SEC (a college sports conference) Saturday Sports Commentator. SIBLING RIVALRY


5. Who could forget Colton Underwood's infamous fence jump? When his lady love Cassie quit the show, the former football player put his skills to the test, hurdling the compound fence in Portugal where cameras and everyone's wingman, Chris Harrison, chased him through the dark. It didn't work out with Cassie, but it did in the end. Underwood came out as gay and is now happily dating. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
