There’s a new source for pro football profiles in case you’re interested in more than your favorite stars’ Twitter conversations.

It’s called Vizio’s Pro Football Profiles. It will be hosted by Laura Okmin. It debuts tonight at 11 p.m. on a Fox Sports Net regional network near you. Each episode is 30 minutes and is supposed to introduce viewers to the non-football side of a player. The first profile is of Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He will talk about his passion for guitar, about a record label and probably not a lot about what he thinks about Brett Favre.

The shows will also be available on vizio.com. Here’s a link to the trailer

Besides Rogers, other episodes will feature Adrian Peterson, Brian Urlacher, Larry Fitzgerald and LaDainian Tomlinson.
