I agree it doesn't prepare you for the NFL because football is a special and difficult  sport in its self but if you can win an olympic gold medal you are a pretty tough dude mentally and physically.

 

I agree 100%.

Gotta love it, McD and Co will do anything to win.

Well…, we don’t want to be associated with that other AFCE team…, 😁

 

Go Bills!!!

The overlap between football and wrestling is huge. Mainly, understanding using your hips to generate sudden power. Possibly one of the most discipline driven sports. The dude might not ever be an all pro, but not difficult picturing any high level wrestler being able to carve out a role with some coaching.

 

Off the top of my head  here's some elite wrestlers that went on to have NFL careers

Ray Lewis

Robert Quinn

Lorenzo Neal

Tedy Bruschi

Ronnie Lott

Bo Jackson

Bryant McKinney 

Warren Sapp

Fred Smerlas

Bruce Smith

Ricky Williams

Roddy White

Jonathan Ogden

 

2020 there were 4 HS State Champ wrestlers drafted in the NFL.

[Edit alot of those were of the top of my head, but I looked up an article to add some extra juice to the list lol]

 

Never heard of em...

 

But I do know that WWE Superstar Rob Gronkowski won a Super Bowl last year, so it's possible!
