Former South Carolina standout Ernest Jones cameos on TV show
Former South Carolina standout and current Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones has always been a man of many talents and now it appears he can add acting to his resume.
Jones, who is going into his third year in the NFL, posted on his Instagram a clip of him cameoing in a recent episode of Peacock’s Bel-Air. Dolphins wide receiver Chosen Anderson (formerly known as Robbie Anderson) is also seen in the excerpt.
While many reading this may be more familiar with the classic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which aired in the 90s with Will Smith, the modern Bel-Air is presented as a re-imagination of the original sitcom.
It’s no surprise that Jones has found his way in front of the camera considering that he was always a media favorite during his time in Columbia and essentially served as the defacto team spokesperson during weekly press conferences, never shying away from questions despite the team’s 2-8 season in 2020.
