Jimmy Ryder has always loved the spotlight that comes with being a professional athlete. He loves doing press conferences and putting himself in front of a camera. Ryder could definitely be an actor with his outgoing and social personality. So when he got a call to be the lead role in the newest movie "Drinking to the Pros" he said yes instantly. Drinking to the pros is a movie about three college football players on route to the ISFL draft, but, they're all alcoholics who dabble in the drugs here and there. The movie shows them going through their senior year of college getting ready for the draft and trying to get over their addictions. Ryder loves partying and feels like it's part of the job as an athlete so he fits the role perfectly. Ryder, while shooting the movie, was hammered for 90% of his workouts and meetings. He said "Man those spiced rum and cokes were flowing, I'm surprised this movie had the budget for our liquor addictions." Ryder has not gotten over his addictions and does not plan to anytime soon.
