Keanu Reeves is known for his insane dedication to his movie roles, but did you know that dedication almost got him an NFL contract?

While preparing to play a star quarterback in The Replacements (2000), Reeves went through intense football training led by experts like Alan Graf and Mark Ellis. He perfected his throwing motion, footwork, and pocket movement—plus, he bulked up by 25 pounds!

With most scenes filmed at M&T Bank Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff got a front-row seat to his skills. They were so impressed by his athleticism and footwork that they actually invited him to try out for the team!

But Reeves, always committed to his acting career, turned down the opportunity due to scheduling conflicts. Just months later, the 2000 Ravens, led by Ray Lewis, won the Super Bowl—meaning Keanu could have been part of a championship team!

Imagine an alternate reality where Keanu Reeves wasn’t just John Wick or Neo but also a Super Bowl-winning quarterback! 🏆🔥
