Former NFL wide receiver Cris Collinsworth was an accomplished NFL wideout before eventually becoming a prominent media personality. Collinsworth has one of the most coveted positions in the booth of Sunday Night Football, and often becomes a talking point for his unique color commentary.

Collinsworth came up as a clue on Thursday night's Jeopardy, but none of the contestants could answer correctly. He reacted to the moment with an amazing self-own on Twitter.

Anyone who even casually follows the NFL would've likely gotten it right, and it's an honor to even be remotely famous enough to be featured as the answer to a Jeopardy clue, but it's clear that Collinsworth has some work to do before he can feel like a household name.

Collinsworth spent his entire eight-year career with the Cincinnati Bengals, earning three Pro Bowl selections before hanging his cleats up after the 1988 season. He got involved in broadcasting soon after retirement, working his way up before earning the SNF gig in 2009.

Even in his twelfth season on Sunday Night Football, Collinsworth still was able to have a humbling moment.
