Okay, so I saw this question floating around the internet: “Did Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson play in the NFL?” And I was like, huh, I kinda remember something about that, but I wasn’t 100% sure. So, I decided to do a little digging myself.

My Investigation Process
First, I hit up Google – my usual go-to. I just typed in “Dwayne Johnson NFL” and started browsing through the results.
- I skipped over any of those “fluff” articles that just repeat the same stuff without any real info.
- I was mainly looking for reliable sources, like maybe ESPN, Sports Illustrated, or something like that.
I found several articles, that talked about his college football career at the University of Miami. Seems like he was a pretty decent defensive tackle!
Then, I dug a bit deeper, trying to see if he actually made it to the NFL. Most of the articles confirmed that he played for the University of Miami.I learned he went undrafted in 1995, and according to some reports.
So, the final answer? Nope, Dwayne Johnson didn’t play in the NFL. It’s an easy thing to get mixed up, he was strong, popular.
