NFL fans have been left in awe after a viral clip revealed Terry Bradshaw to be quite the talented country singer.

The much-loved — yet much-criticized — veteran broadcaster and Pro Football Hall of Famer has had quite a storied career both on and off the gridiron, largely defined by his championship greatness, media longevity, and a charismatic, larger-than-life personality.

While Bradshaw, 78, will perhaps be best remembered for a glowing NFL career that saw him become the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls, he currently steals the headlines for his on-screen gaffes and questionable takes as a studio analyst on FOX NFL Sunday.

However, there is also a third talent that Bradshaw can boast on his CV as part of his uniquely multifaceted career: his ability to sing, particularly in country music.

During his prime as the star quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bradshaw moonlighted as a country singer, releasing his debut album in 1976 and making several guest appearances on 'Pop! Goes the Country.'

On the syndicated TV music series, Bradshaw famously performed two of Hank Williams' most iconic tracks: 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' in 1976 and 'Jambalaya (On the Bayou)' in 1977, showcasing his impressive vocal range.

A clip of Bradshaw singing the former — which became his biggest musical hit, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 1976 — has recently resurfaced on social media, and NFL fans couldn't get enough of it.

"We have never been, and probably never will be, as Proper of a Country as we were at this moment in time. Thank you, Terry," one person wrote on X.

"Saw him perform earlier this year. Terry can sing," revealed another, while a third person said: "Them are some golden pipes."

A fourth person then commented: "That was awesome!", while a fifth added: "One man shouldn't be allowed to have that much talent."

Bradshaw has continued to offer several live performances over the years

It comes as Bradshaw made several fresh blunders live on air during his usual FOX NFL Sunday duties this past weekend, notably accidentally knocking over a cup of coffee directly onto Curt Menefee's lap.

Bradshaw assumed little responsibility for the mishap, asking Menefee, "Are you okay, bud?" as the 61-year-old promptly rushed off-set to tidy up, before continuing with his analysis of Denver's comeback victory over Los Angeles the previous week.

"Just spilled my coffee over," Bradshaw added. "Anyway, [Denver] came back. And [Bo] Nix, the quarterback, did a great job of bringing them back in the second half."
