Shadowhunters star Isaiah Mustafa's journey from NFL to the screen to being 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like' is remarkable

Mustafa is clearly a storehouse of talent, having played in 5 football teams, acted in some of the most popular shows of our times, and his signature Old Spice ads. Ring a bell?

To the young Gen Z crowd, he might be known as the famous Luke Garroway on Freeform's extremely popular fantasy series, 'Shadowhunters.' But to the rest of us, Isaiah Mustafa will forever be the hunk from the Old Spice commercials, aka 'The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.'

Yet that doesn't cover the full grasp of Mustafa, who was known for his career in football as a wide receiver before he gifted the world with his brilliant portrayal of Luke on the show based on Cassandra Clare's best-selling young adult novel series, 'The Mortal Instruments'.
