Former Chiefs defensive lineman T.J. Barnes ready for pro wrestling

There are certain dreams a person can have that others cannot when you stand 6’7 and weigh 364 pounds. For T.J. Barnes, that list of dreams includes one that reaches all the way back to his childhood: becoming a professional wrestler.

Barnes will be familiar to those fans of the Kansas City Chiefs who pay the closest of attention. Barnes joined the team’s practice squad after being waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars (for the second time) in September of 2016. After two months on the practice squad, Barnes was promoted to the active roster for five games.
