Brian Bosworth was a linebacker for the NCAA Oklahoma Sooners (1984–1986) and the NFL Seattle Seahawks (1987–1989). A college standout, well-known for his brash personality and inventive haircuts, he was forced to retire after just three comparatively lackluster years in the NFL due to a shoulder injury.

In July 2004 he was named to the "Top 25 Biggest Sports Flops of the Last 25 Years" by ESPN.

He wrote a book with Sport Illustrated's Rick Reilly in 1991 entitled The Boz: Confessions of a Modern Anti-Hero (ISBN 042513041X).

He starred in the 1991 action film Stone Cold and has had an on-again, off-again film career since.
