Get ready for the big game as we rank the greatest jocks in TV history. Love them or hate them, jocks are undeniably entertaining. While many TV jocks are stereotyped as big, dumb oafs, characters like Tim Riggins (Friday Night Lights) and Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill) are layered individuals with troubled lives. Others, like Kenny Powers (Eastbound and Down) and Al Bundy (Married with Children), struggle to adjust to life after their athletic glory days. Jocks can be the foil to the protagonist, comic relief, or even the star. The best ones make you cheer louder for them than their team. Vote for the greatest jocks on TV, share with friends, and add any missing jocks to the list!
