This is what kaleef gave me... that he found about this deal..
Mike Mooneyham's column in today's Charleston Post & Courier indicates that Brock Lesnar will quit the WWE after Wrestlemania tonight and is looking at a career in the NFL.
From the column:
The announcement left some in the company stunned, although few were said to have been sympathetic toward Lesnar's plight. Few also believed that Lesnar, an amateur standout in wrestling but with no college football experience, could make such a transition and land a spot with an NFL team. The official Web site of Fox Sports reported Wednesday that Lesnar received offers from the Tampa Bay Bucs and the Washington Redskins back in 2000 when he won the NCAA wrestling championship while at the University Of Minnesota. Lesnar, however, turned down those offers and signed with WWE in August 2000.
