Carl Weathers remembered for more than Star Wars
Since he passed away this February, many have mourned the loss of Carl Weathers. The Star Wars fanbase has missed the man who brought humor, toughness, and humanity to The Mandalorian character, Greef Karga. Another fanbase has also been mourning his passing.
Before Weathers became an actor, he played in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders in 1970 and 1971. He played in seven games in 1970 and helped the Raiders win the AFC West Division Title.
Since his stardom, Weathers has become a strong Raiders alumnus. From 1999 to 2001, he narrated the team's highlight films. He has also been seen at several alumni events throughout the years and lit a torch before a home game in 2022. The torch was lit by former players and celebrities in memory of the team's owner, Al Davis.
Upon his passing, the Raiders released a statement celebrating his life and mourning the loss:
"Always a proud Raider, Weathers...
