‘Humbled and Hungry’: Dwayne Johnson Scouts Two Future NFL or XFL Stars And Fills Them With Career Advice

There is much more to Dwayne Johnson than just movies and wrestling. While we have seen The Great One achieve outstanding success in both industries, the entire world is about to see his contribution to American Football in 2023.

Dwayne Johnson is building the XFL league from the ground up after all the criticisms that the company incurred. Under the advisory of Vince McMahon, this company couldn’t reach the heights that everyone projected for it. But with The Rock giving it a little of an emotional grasp, it could fall right in with the NFL. And one such example is his recent Instagram post.

Dwayne Johnson, giving a valuable lesson to young footballers

In a post where The Rock was giving some advice to young footballers, it was captioned, “Humble & Hungry. I was really impressed with these two very well mannered, respectful young players, Golden Silva (8) and Zayden Monterde (12). They’re the two best football players in the U.S. in their age group 👏🏾👏🏾”.

“But what really impressed me was when they asked me about fame (so wise of them to even ask) and I told them the two most important things to remember if and when they become famous/ Stay humble and stay hungry.”

“I made sure they repeated it back to me when we said goodbye. They’ll be so skilled by the time they’re ready for the XFL, there’s no way I’ll be able to afford to pay them 😂🏈💰,” he added.

Restarting the XFL

Bought in 2020, after the company filed for bankruptcy, The Rock and his ex-wife Dany Garcia, along with RedBird Capital, for $15 million. The Rock and Garcia have been hustling to make the brand significant in the American Football industry.

Including the one mentioned in this article.

With a kickoff date of February 18th, 2023, the future is looking bright for The Rock’s revival of the XFL. And with the popularity of The People’s Champion, the brand should launch into pop culture instantly.
