The Undertaker has made a legendary status in the world of professional wrestling. However, his popularity goes beyond WWE and professional wrestling as one of the most iconic superstars.
In a similar fashion, recently, we saw a hint of Taker’s popularity in the world of the NFL. In their digital art, a fan compared a 2x Super Bowl Champion to The Deadman.

A few days ago, Jimmy Garoppolo‘s career with the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have reached an end. However, the recent ankle injury of Trey Lance sidelined him from the season and this got Garoppolo to come back on the field.
Even though Garoppolo is going to return to the field for the 49ers, one San Francisco fan took Garoppolo’s return to the field to the next level. The fan drew the 49ers player in one of the famous poses of The Undertaker rising from the casket.

The Deadman in his iconic career has ample moments when he woke up from a casket and surprised his opponents. Whenever a segment like this would appear on WWE, fans knew Taker was going to take advantage and deliver his legendary finishing move, ‘Tombstone Piledriver.’
The 49ers player was on the bench for several months since he joined the team. However, like Taker used to attack his opponents rising from the coffin, Garoppolo has returned strong from his injury, as quarterback shocked the Seahawks, allowing the 49ers to secure a win on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
Clearly, The Undertaker is one of the biggest WWE stars in the world as the artist took Taker’s pose to draw Garoppolo’s viral picture.
