Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood today. Before being a top-tier star, Johnson was a top-tier pro wrestler in WWE. However, his WWE began because of a failed football career. Besides being among the highest-paid actors, Johnson is also an ace businessman. Johnson is currently busy doing something for budding football players, which he himself was unable to do.

Dwayne Johnson’s much-awaited project, XFL is about to begin and has the fans on the edge of their seats. He recently took to Instagram to share a heartfelt status about the league, and how it will help forge the careers of several young and talented football players.
