Deion Sanders once played a professional football game and baseball game on the same day, as sports fans are well aware.
On a similar note, some athletes like to juggle two professions simultaneously, dabbling in entertainment while competing on the field in the same week.
Ceyair Wright, who once portrayed LeBron James‘ son in Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021), was about to suit up as an NFL rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals this season — until he called it quits.
On Saturday, August 15, reports from the team’s training camp confirmed on social media that Wright, 23, has left the roster to pursue acting.
“Rookie CB Ceyair Wright, who has several acting credits, left camp to pursue TV/Film opportunities,” reads the recent X post by Bengals radio voice Dan Hoard. “He’s been replaced by rookie Matthew McDoom (#41) who was released by the Ravens last week.”
Other media outlets then ran with the juicy update, including Bleacher Report with a joint Instagram post. “Bengals rookie Ceyair Wright was offered the lead role in a movie he couldn’t pass down 👀,” reads the post’s caption. See below.

Fans have since flooded the post’s comments section to share their reaction and speculate on what projects Wright might join. “Bro better be in the new x men film 🤣😅,” wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, “He must be in some batman movie or sum.”
“[Wright] called us last night and let us know that he had an opportunity,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Saturday, per NBC News. “I know it was a difficult decision for him. I think two things he’s really passionate about were colliding, and he decided to pursue this opportunity. So he’s a great kid, comes from a great university. And, you know, we wish him the best. He was fun to be around. He really competed hard for us. It was fun watching him play. I thought he was ascending as a player. But, obviously, he’s chosen to go a different path.”
