Erin Marie Garrett is a running back on the Dallas Desire. The model, actress and singer has been playing with the team since February.

"I didn't realize it was going to be as intense and as geared toward actually playing!" she says. "Playing well and winning is our first priority."

She is enthusiastic about the sport, and its physical nature.

"I'm thinking football is my new favorite sport – you get to hit, it's more aggressive, it's just so much fun," she says. "If you're a girl and you have any aggression, if you can put on pads and legally do it – it's awesome."

Nickname: Crash. I'm 5-6 and 112 pounds, but I can knock people over.

Movie I've seen dozens of times: Alice in Wonderland

Guilty pleasures: Coffee. I'm obsessed with Starbucks.

Song I wish I had written:

"Come Undone" by Duran Duran.
