“Higher Levels of Success”: Fans React to XFL Player Getting Emotional Talking About the Opportunity That Dwayne Johnson Gave Him

One of the biggest Dwayne Johnson projects to drop this year was his revival of the XFL. An American football league that had failed to run a successful season under the guidance of his former boss, Vince McMahon. But now the XFL is here and by the looks of it, Johnson just might have found a way to make it stay and turn it into a successful venture.

With this, The Rock had aspirations of his own to become a football player, but couldn’t realize it. But this time, Johnson the dreams of others come true. There are many players, crew, and fans connected to the XFL, and this project is as much about them as The Rock.

Among those players who are overwhelmed to have this opportunity is AJ McCarron. McCarron got emotional when talking about the opportunity that Johnson has given players like him. Being such a competitive league, the NFL can’t take in everyone, but these players who get left out now have a home in the XFL.

A post-match video shows McCarron getting visibly emotional when the interviewer asked him about the feeling of playing football in front of his sons. Posting the same video on his Instagram, The Brahma Bull wrote, “This is what the XFL is all about ❤️. It always cuts deeper and means more when we can identify our “why” we do what we do. Incredible come-from-behind win from the @xflbattlehawks, led by this QB champion @ajmccarron. Beautiful moment brother. Hug ‘em tight – they’re our why.”

Fans online reacted to this post and showed their love for this heartwarming moment. Here are the top reactions.
