The loud-mouth of the Seattle Seahawks secondary spits a lot of smack, but his surprising intelligence would interest people in seeing who Richard Sherman really is.

The Denver Broncos wide receiver is a known prankster and jokester in press conferences and off the football field. Viewers would want to see what tricks Welker has up his sleeve away from football.

The boxer avoids to fight Manny Pacquiao and is open about his gambling habits ... yes, I would like to see what his life is like outside of the ring in greater detail

Who? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup tight end is injured right now, but he is a must-follow on Twitter. Read some of his tweets, he is worth it for reality television.

Imagine this: Brothers Jon Bones (MMA Fighter), Chandler (New England Patriots defensive end) and Arthur (Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle) in one place would be one scary house of athletes who are paid to hit other people

A long-haired Blonde southern California kid living it up in ice-cold Green Bay, Wis. and starring in hilarious Campbell's and Fathead commercials is worth the mass appeal.

The Chicago Blackhawks right wing is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion, only 24 years old and is a known party animal. His popularity is insane in the hockey world and reality television would love to have this guy on the tube

The Indiana Pacers center made some rude comments after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but watch his cameo appearances in Parks and Recreation. Trust me, Hibbert gives viewers many laughs

His ridiculous motor and moments in the NBA has made him a poster-child on SportsCenter's "Not Top 10" list. I don't know about you, but this guy makes me laugh every time he suits up, making him an excellent reality TV personality

6. Jared Allen

His post-practice and post-game press conferences are witty, his cameo appearances in movies such as "Jackass 3", his post-sack celebration and his ridiculous mullet would make him a perfect fit on Duck Dynasty

The Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle hasn't been in the NFL long but he already had a movie made about him. I'd be interested to see how comparable the real Michael Oher is to the movie's version.

The long-time bad boy of the NBA is an absolute character and his upcoming comedy tour proves he is quite hilarious as well. Reality TV would cater to World Peace, a formerly-known short-tempered athlete who is more of an entertainer than anything else

He doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the toolshed, but who doesn't love the big goofy New England Patriots tight end who is known for the "Summer of Gronk" and "Yo Soy Fiesta"? He'd be ideal for reality television while recovering from his countless offseason surgeries
