Before Goldberg was a prolific WWE star, he spent a pair of seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons.
In his short tenure in the NFL, he played alongside legendary player and now coach Deion Sanders. Speaking on Well Off Media, Sanders recalled wrestling matches that went on inside the Falcons' locker room on Fridays. The Colorado head coach said he always made a point to call Goldberg into the ring.
Goldberg then credited Sanders for kicking off his wrestling career.
"I guess I have to give him 100 percent credit for me being a professional wrestler," Goldberg said (8:00 mark).
