#4 His football career ended due to a soccer injury
In the most in-depth interview about his career to date, Roman Reigns was a guest on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast in March 2017.
They discussed a wide range of topics including Reigns’ time as a footballer, where he played for Georgia Tech in college before having short spells with the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.
He then played in the Canadian Football League for the Edmonton Eskimos, during which time he sustained an ankle injury that would result in the end of his football career.
Reigns revealed to Y2J that the injury came about while he was kicking a soccer ball around “like Pele and Ronaldinho” before practice. Once he was fully healed, the Eskimos cut him and he never played football again.
