“You Make It Up”: Debunking Lies From $800 Million Dwayne Johnson, NFL Superstar Exposed The Rock’s ‘False’ Claims on His College Football Career

If there is one story that makes Dwayne Johnson an inspiration to thousands, it is his struggle with football. Early in his career, The Rock wanted to be in the NFL but couldn’t because of a number of reasons. From that disappointment, Johnson found himself at the door of Vince McMahon’s WWE.

After that, the rest is history, as they say. But after all these years, a football teammate, who became an NFL legend, came out to claim that Johnson’s $800 million career beginnings are entirely based on lies.

NFL legend claims Dwayne Johnson’s false about his position at the University of Miami

On The Rich Eisen Show, NFL legend Warren Sapp talked about his former teammate, The Rock. When the host asked him if he played next to Johnson, Sapp abruptly corrected him by saying that Johnson played behind him. He also added that Johnson was sitting on the sidelines when he was playing on the field.

The host further delved into Johnson’s story about his position at the University of Miami, but Sapp also denied it. He claimed that Johnson was never a starter at the University of Miami. When Eisen asked why Johnson spun the story that way, Sapp had a quick remark. He said, “Because he’s in Hollywood and you make it up. You follow the script, he’s good at it. Following the script, he’s damn good at that.”

While Sapp’s claim of Johnson’s story of struggle might be true, there is no denying that Johnson has a special connection with football. His dreams of the NFL might have been crushed when he was young, but he is still affiliated with them in one way or another.

Dwayne Johnson’s continued relationship with American football

In 2020, Dwayne Johnson and his ex-wife Dany Garcia bought the XFL from his former boss, Vince McMahon. This year, he launched the first league under his supervision. While it was not a major hit, Johnson kept it minimum when it came to losses. His objective with this new venture is to build a place for folks who were so close to the NFL but didn’t end up in the big leagues.

Even with the losses incurred in the first season, Johnson isn’t stopping. He has already got plans set in motion to build the league up and deliver a stellar season next year. While we’ll be waiting for 2024, we’ll also be waiting for Johnson’s reply to Sapp’s truth bombs on this show.
