Okay, so I’ve been seeing this question pop up everywhere: “Did Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson play in the NFL?” I figured, I’m a huge fan, I love football, let’s dig in and I can share what I found with you guys!
My Deep Dive into The Rock’s Football Career
First things first, I hit up Google. I mean, where else do you start, right? I typed in “Dwayne Johnson NFL” and started scrolling. I saw a bunch of articles right away, and my hopes were kinda high for a second.
I started reading. And reading. And… well, the answer became pretty clear, pretty fast. The basic is no,He never get the chance in NFL.
But it’s not like he didn’t try! That’s what made the whole thing interesting. The man was a beast in college. Seriously, I looked up some of his old stats and highlights from the University of Miami.
- He played defensive tackle.
- He was part of the 1991 national championship team!
I mean, that’s impressive! I watched a few clips, and you could see the power and the drive, even back then. He was a force to be reckoned with.
But, then the articles started talking about injuries. It sounded like he had a rough time with them, which ultimately kept him from getting drafted into the NFL.
I felt for the guy! You work that hard, get that close to your dream, and then… boom. Injury sidelines you. That’s gotta be tough.
So, yeah, I guess that “no” isn’t the whole story. He was good,he had real potential,just unfortunately it didn’t happen for him in the NFL.
