Olympic Gold Medalist Dan Gable once said, “After you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.” If he truly believes that statement, he probably hasn’t seen Indianapolis Colt CB Rock Ya-Sin’s football journey.
A two-time state wrestling champion, Ya-Sin dominated in his early years. Excelling at Southwest Dekalb High, he received scholarships from schools like Virginia Tech, Virginia, Chattanooga, and North Carolina State. But as much as he succeeded at wrestling - it just wasn’t the sport for him.
Rock Ya-Sin said he didn't start playing sports until he started wrestling in eighth grade.
