The initial question asked by Sports Illustrated was “Which fictional football player are you taking with the first pick? Miami fans have an easy answer because Dwayne Johnson played for the Hurricanes and was Joe Kingman in The Game Plan. TVonTheSpot astutely answered “Easy. @TheRock because he really played football.”
For those uninitiated, The Rock was the stage name of former Miami football player Dwayne Johnson during a legendary wrestling career which eventually led him to become the biggest box office movie star. Johnson played four seasons at Miami during which his budding football career was limited by a knee injury.
