Former Los Angeles Rams football player Rosey Grier plans to run for California governor, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

Grier, 84, was part of the team’s iconic “Fearsome Foursome” defensive line in the 1960s.

“Yeah, I’m going to run for governor. I think we can do a lot of good,” Grier told the Times. “I’ve spent my life serving my fellow man. I thought I would continue doing that.”

The state’s gubernatorial race will take place in 2018. Grier joins a crowded list of candidates, including California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and state Treasurer John Chiang (D).

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) will not be running for reelection.

After his football career, Grier became a minister and social activist.

It would not be Grier’s first foray into the political sphere, the Times reported.

Grier was a bodyguard to presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy at the time of his 1968 assassination and jumped into the fray to scuffle with the shooter.

California is no stranger to celebrities holding public office. “Terminator” actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) was the state’s 38th governor from 2003 to 2010.

Grier’s announcement comes just months after the Rams returned to Los Angeles, following a 20-year stint in St. Louis, and revitalized the city's starving NFL fandom.
