Much like his WWE dream, this too will likely end up with him using meth in the Tampa Bay area again shortly.

I don’t like his odds in the NFL.

He was an embarassing failure for the company! What a joke!

Of course, there were times that wrestling would have liked you to think they were the same person.

Lesnar was at least 25X the athlete as this dude and he couldn’t crack the Vikes squad… Good luck with that one Andy

Funny thing is he then became a UFC champion. two different sports… Lesnar could crush any vikings player in a real fight no questions asked but in a game of football he just couldnt keep up.

I bet he won’t be “Tough Enough.” He has ZERO charisma and a big stiff. In other words, the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants are on the phone.

Andy is a perfect fit for the Redskins. I mean being you have cap issues he would be a cheap pick up ;)

Golden Richards
Ernie Ladd

Just to name a few of those who made a decent transition from the NFL to “pro” wrestling. But, I would imagine that are tons of “couldn’t cut its” as well, like;

Kevin Greene
Steve McMichaels

Really too many to name.

Lesnar had never played football before trying out for the Vikes, at least this guy played college ball and was decent enough to have made an NFL camp.
Saying that, the guy didn’t make it back then and based on how stiff and clumsy he looked on Tough Enough it’s very doubtful he gets any calls after this workout.

He has a much better chance than that chick that tried to be a kicker

aka a failed drug test.

I’m not sure it can work the other way around.
