Reply to comment by i-am-boots in In 1994 some guy named Dwayne Johnson was a backup defensive lineman for the Miami Hurricanes by lostacoshermanos

Not really. He washed up into the CFL and wasn't good enough to start there either.

He tells the story differently and was told to 'hold back',they just seemed to want him for practice.

He also says that not being good enough for the Calgary Stampeders was a great turning point where he decided that football wasn't for him, and that he should look into other sports.

Do you think everyone who sees playing time in college football is good enough to play at the next level? Even the CFL? I didn’t even say he could start at Miami. I just said he PROBABLY would have played more if he wasn’t behind Sapp on the depth chart. D lines often run rotations. And I don’t see how it’s unreasonable to think that if the guy ahead of him wasn’t a future HOFer he might have seen the field more.
