Terry Crews says Raiders fans threatened his family

Before Terry Crews became an actor the 46-year-old was All-Conference player for the Western Michigan Broncos which landed him a gig in the NFL.

Sadly for Crews his collegiate success didn’t translate onto the NFL field as the Flint native only played in 32 career games, though they were apparently some rather interesting games as the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast member says he was threatened by Raiders fans during his playing days.

Terry Crews was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Rams and for unknown reasons says he was threatened by fans of the then Los Angeles Raiders.

"“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Terry Crews tells TMZ Sports … back when he used to play for the L.A. Rams, the Raiders fans hated his team so much, they THREATENED his wife and family.Crews — a former NFL linebacker — played for the Rams back in 1991 … back before the Raiders ditched L.A. and moved back to Oakland.And last night in L.A., Crews told us some of the more insane fans of the Silver and Black took the rivalry so seriously, they threatened his wife and family."

As if playing for the Los Angeles Rams wasn’t bad enough the football player turned actor decided to then sign with the San Diego Chargers, another huge rival of the Raiders franchise. Thankfully nothing ever happened though I’m venturing to guess if somebody did attempt to act on such a threat, they would have ended up squished like a jelly bean given Terry Crews size. Seriously the guy could probably battle an alligator, lion and great white shark all at the same time while wearing a suit of meat and still come out victorious.

Crews also left a parting shot for the San Francisco 49ers, possibly an attempt at peace with Raider Nation.
