Rex Ryan on "CSI: NY"

Not sure if the foot fetish videos were used as a demo reel for good ol' Rex Ryan or his bravado during HBO's "Hard Knocks" but the New York Jets' head coach will be on the small screen very soon.

According to the New York Post, Ryan and Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum were in Los Angeles to shoot an episode of the CBS hit drama, "CSI: NY."

They were shooting a scene for the show before traveling to Indianapolis for the NFL scouting combine, where both are scheduled to meet with the media.

With the Jets having gone to consecutive AFC Championship games, the popularity and profiles of both Ryan and Tannenbaum have continued to grow, making them an attractive get for the network series.

The majority of Jets regular-season games are televised by CBS.

The "CSI: NY" episode is expected to air this spring. In it, Ryan and Tannenbaum will appear with regular cast members Gary Sinise and Eddie Cahill.

The last Jets coach to appear on a popular TV series was Eric Mangini, who in 2007 made a non-speaking cameo on HBO's "The Sopranos," eating dinner at a restaurant when Tony Soprano, the show's main character, referred to him as "Mangenius."
