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 also a college football analyst for ESPN. AND HE HAS GREAT HAIR
