No, that was the first.
That was the first time I played football, I promise.
That's crazy.
First time you played football was professional.
It was in the NFL.
My mom was always scared.
The high school coaches at Apple Valley High School in Minnesota were like, hey, come play football.
They were trying to call my mom and dad, and I'm like, you're not going to convince her.
She is scared to death of football.
But the whole time, I'm wrestling.
So where do we break this gap at?
Right, right.
And I just get done with WWE.
And I go out there, and I'm chilling.
I get a call saying, hey, you want to try out for the Bills?
And I tell Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean, I said, hey, don't expect much, but I could put on shoes, but I've never had football cleats on.
I never had pads on.
I don't even know how to put the tights on, anything.
And I went out there, and I sprinted my ass off, though, in that tryout.
I was sprinting down and back and forth.
