Calvin Johnson Praises Former Teammate Roman Reigns' Transition from Football to WWE

Johnson, an NFL legend, recalls Reigns' toughness on the Georgia Tech football team and lauds his subsequent success in WWE.

NFL legend Calvin Johnson has praised WWE superstar Roman Reigns for his time on the Georgia Tech football team, describing him as a 'badass'.
Reigns, whose real name is Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, played on the defensive line and was known for his toughness and leadership abilities.
Despite signing with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent and having an offseason stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Reigns was out of professional football by 2008.
Reigns signed a contract with WWE in 2010 and has since become the company's biggest star as a six-time world champion.
Johnson believes Reigns' battle with cancer, which derailed his NFL aspirations, ended up being a 'blessing in disguise' as he's now poised to break numerous records in WWE.
