Thus, leaving him heartbroken and battling with depression.
In conversation with Sport Bible, he just poured his heart out and spoke about his heartbreaking reality. He said, “Not only did I play for a college football team, at that time I played for the best college football team in the country, the University of Miami. We were national champions. And the number one goal was to play in the NFL, the National Football League, and that did not happen for me. That was hard. It was a hard kick in the gut. Because I’d worked for years and years and years to make it into the NFL, and I didn’t.” ALSO READ: Ryan Reynolds Says Dwayne Johnson Is 'In His 48th Trimester Of Puberty'; Read To Know Details
On press junkets I rarely get to speak this candidly & reflective on life’s experiences - successes and more importantly, my failures. This interview was a nice and unexpected energetic shift during my @HobbsAndShaw junket. Thanks @sportbible we’ll do it again down the road. DJ https://t.co/Eir5nhOZdm

Well but somewhere deep down we feel the wrestler was definitely meant for something much bigger and better, hence Dwayne routing himself to the entertainment business is the best thing happened to the industry and gift for the viewers.
