As Tyler Frederickson fights to outwit, outlast, and outplay the rest of the Survivor: Worlds Apart cast this season, he'll be part of a long tradition of professional athletes joining the cast of CBS' longest running reality show.

Frederickson is a punter and placekicker who graduate from California in 2004 before moving onto a short-lived career in the NFL and Arena Football League.

So far five contestants have seen their flames snuffed out during this season, the show's 30th overall, but Frederickson is not one of them.
