NFL fans tuning into Raw or SmackDown would see familiar faces of the past. Former athletes like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg are some prominent names. However, there is a slight twist with Pat McAfee and Happy Corbin. Both have NFL roots, but they also had good ties, unlike now in the WWE.
The mugshots of Pat McAfee and Happy Corbin from their rookie NFL careers are wildly rolling. To add more interest, McAfee and Corbin, aka Thomas Pestock, were on the Indianapolis Colts in 2009. They both were drafted in the same year and now are in a grueling rivalry in SmackDown that leads to WWE’s SummerSlam, the Biggest Party of the Summer.

“Baron Corbin lived in my house for months when he played for the Colts our rookie year. Baron Corbin and I know each other well. I’m not a golden gloves boxer at all, so I think our backgrounds might be a bit different, but I think he’s incredible on the microphone. He’s very hateable, both in real life and his character, so it’s a perfect foil,” The Ex-Colts Punter and kickoff specialist mentioned via Wrestling Inc.
