Former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks hasn’t been in California long but after signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, it appears he’s already enjoying the Hollywood lifestyle.
Kendricks made his acting debut during an episode in the second season of the show Bel Air, which is a dramatic reboot of the ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
In the episode, Kendricks makes an appearance at a pool party with several other players including Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chosen Anderson and Kendricks’ new teammate Ernest Jones.

The only line Kendricks has in the episode is him saying “What’s up?” when he’s introduced to a group at a backyard party, though he does appear in the episode a few more times while participating in a backyard football game.
Kendricks grew up in Clovis, California before playing in college at UCLA with fellow former Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr. He then spent nine seasons with the Vikings after he was selected in the second round of the 2015 draft. He was released in February and signed a one-year contract with the Chargers in March.
