9 Chicago Bears players as famous HBO characters ahead of NFL Hard Knocks premiere

Jaylon Johnson - Vincent Chase (Entourage)
Entourage is another HBO classic, depicting the life of movie star Vincent Chase, portrayed by Adrian Grenier, who brings his brother and friends from New York to take over Hollywood together. Starring in (fictional) movies like James Cameron's Aquaman, Medellin, and Queen's Boulevard, Chase - who is loosely based on executive producer Mark Wahlberg - is an up-and-coming superstar who often needs the help of his friends and agent to navigate his career and personal decisions.
Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson is nowhere near the diva that Chase is, but there is no debate about his star power. With his entourage (the rest of the talented Bears' secondary), Johnson is ready to grab hold of the NFL spotlight and earn the recognition he deserves amongst his peers. Johnson failed to earn a nomination in this year's NFL Top 100 players list, not even an honorable mention. This slight seems to have motivated Johnson, who stated on Sunday, "There ain't no way there's100 guys [better] ... I don't know how you make Pro Bowl, All-Pro and you're not a top 100 guy ... Aaron Rodgers didn't even play in the season and he was voted [92nd] ... everyone makes mistakes".
