In the world of sports, Brock Lesnar is an anomaly. He established a reputation for himself in MMA and pro wrestling and left a lasting impression. The one goal he was unable to fulfill was his desire to play professional football due to an injury that forced him to give up the sport.

However, despite his limited involvement in football, he was able to have an impact. Notably, owing to his appearance in preseason games in 2004, he even got involved in the famous incident of a training camp brawl where he gave a Kansas City Chiefs player, the suplex.

When Lesnar signed the contract, Burleson, a football commentator, was already there. The guys, including Randy Moss, were intimidated by Lesnar due to his enormous stature. While all of this was happening, Kansas City Chiefs arrived for training.

Brock Lesnar suplexed a Kansas City Chiefs player

Burleson claims that the confrontation erupted after a Chiefs player gave quarterback Daunte Culpepper a cheap shot during a play.

As per him, the scuffle breaks out during training as usual, and one player shelved Culpepper in the back. He glances around and identifies the person. Lesnar rushes up to him, picks him up off the ground, and aggressively asked who did that.

He further added, “Well, most training camp scuffle happens all the time no real blows. Basically, an aggressive verbal fight but you got a monster like Brock on your side — when Lesnar finally got his hands on this dude, he gave a grown man a full-blown suplex. I mean, Brock drove him down to the express lane of suplex city.”
