Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson played football at Miami and a run in the CFL before turning to sports entertainment.
He’s a full-fledged mogul and megastar now and he has some new pieces for his office collection.
Surround the $7 dollars Johnson has to always remind him of how much money he had left at one time, now the co-owner of the XFL with business partners Dany Garcia and RedBird Capital Partners, has all the helmets from the league’s teams being showcased.
And what did he have to say about football and memories?
My XFL helmets arrived to my office and (holy shit!) I’m humbled and grateful at how full circle life can sometimes be 🙏🏾🏈
My dreams of playing in the NFL never came true, but now years later – I have the honor of buying an entire pro football league so the dreams of other players CAN COME TRUE.
My trailblazing partner @danygarciaco (first woman ever to own an entire US sports league) and #GerryCardinale are passionate football owners who are committed to the grind to deliver awesome football for the fans — and always take care of our hard working, talented players.
And finally, I keep a framed $7 BUCKS (the amount of money I had when I was cut from the Canadian Football League in 1995) on the top shelf here as my daily reminder to stay hungry, humble and always be the hardest worker in the room.
