Walking on the stage on Broadway for the first time, now that was different.

"It felt like my legs were going to collapse,'' George said with a laugh. "You have that moment of, 'What the hell am I doing here?' I have done stage work before, but to get out there and sing? You wonder how people are going to accept you.

"It is similar (to football) in that after that first hit, you are usually OK. After you are on stage, after you sing those first lines and you start captivating and start telling the story, you start relaxing a little more. It is similar, but in football, you can lose your life, you can lose your career that day. My thing here is just going out and having fun, living in the character. If I crack a note, skip a line … you keep going and keep attacking it."

George made his Broadway debut last week in New York City, playing the role of "Billy Flynn" in the Tony Award-winning smash hit "Chicago." It's part of a six-week show at the Ambassador Theatre.

George, who won a Heisman Trophy at Ohio State and ran for over 10,000 yards during his eight seasons with the Titans, now has over a half-dozen shows under his belt in the first week.
