And not just any old backup... He probably would have played a lot more if he wasn't behind NFL HOFer Warren Sapp.

Have you ever heard Sapp talk about the Rock? It's brutal.

Warren Sapp is a fuckhead. Listening to him interrupt and talk over people during interviews is like nails on a chalkboard.

Go on YouTube. Put in "warren Sapp goes in on the rock"..it's funny but as the interview went on Warren gave me and others I showed it to the impression throwing a lot of "shade" on the Rock's career. You be the judge

Not really. He washed up into the CFL and wasn't good enough to start there either.

He tells the story differently and was told to 'hold back',they just seemed to want him for practice.

He also says that not being good enough for the Calgary Stampeders was a great turning point where he decided that football wasn't for him, and that he should look into other sports.

Do you think everyone who sees playing time in college football is good enough to play at the next level? Even the CFL? I didn’t even say he could start at Miami. I just said he PROBABLY would have played more if he wasn’t behind Sapp on the depth chart. D lines often run rotations. And I don’t see how it’s unreasonable to think that if the guy ahead of him wasn’t a future HOFer he might have seen the field more.
