New Orleans Saints har officielt hentet den ubesejrede wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner på kontrakt. Nyheden blev bekræftet af Nick Underhill fra NewOrleans.Football mandag.
Rechsteiner gjorde et stærkt indtryk under prøvetræningen ved holdets rookie-minicamp, hvilket sikrede ham en plads i trupperne. Den 23-årige spiller kommer fra Jacksonville State, hvor han i 2025 opnåede 36 receptioner for 383 yards og fem touchdowns.
Hans kontrakt med Saints markerer begyndelsen på en potentiel NFL-karriere, men Rechsteiner har også en anden drøm: wrestling. Han er søn af Scott Rechsteiner – bedre kendt som Scott Steiner eller Big Poppa Pump – en legende inden for wrestling og medlem af WWE Hall of Fame. Hans onkel, Rick Steiner, var hans fars makker i ringen, og hans fætter, Bronson Rechsteiner, kæmper i dag under navnet Bron Breakker.
Selvom Rechsteiner nu satser på amerikansk fodbold, har han ikke lagt wrestling-drømmen på hylden.
"Jeg vil spille fodbold så længe som muligt. Når det er slut, vil jeg forfølge min wrestling-drøm,"udtalte han til nola.com via Rod Walker.
Med sin fysiske styrke og atletiske evner håber Rechsteiner at skabe sin egen vej inden for NFL – og måske en dag følge i familiens fodspor inden for wrestling.
