Ronnie Coleman is arguably one of the greatest bodybuilders ever. Ronnie won the Mr. Olympia title eight times in a row from 1998 to 2005. His dominance over the competition earned Ronnie the nickname the “King”. Even over a decade after retirement, Ronnie’s popularity hasn’t waned, and he has garnered over 7 million followers across all social media platforms.

However, Ronnie is most active on the social media platform, Instagram. In his latest Instagram post, Ronnie wrote about attending a crucial game for his old college football team, the Grambling State Tigers. However, fans of the “King” didn’t comment on the Tigers. Instead, it was something about Ronnie they couldn’t help but comment on.

The bodybuilding legend attended the crucial game to show support for his university’s football team, which hasn’t done well this season, “Currently sitting at 3-7, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a losing record,” wrote the former Mr. Olympia.

 

When he was attending Grambling State University, Ronnie played football. The champion bodybuilder played for the Grambling State Tigers as a middle linebacker. Before graduating, an L. A. Eagles scout also showed interest in drafting the bodybuilder. However, it didn’t pan out.

While the Grambling State Tigers didn’t win their game, Ronnie’s arms won over the fans.
