In case you haven't heard, the New Orleans Saints have a new punter whose journey to the NFL is garnering him a ton of attention, and now one of Hollywood's biggest stars is showering him with support.
Australian Lou Hedley's road to pro football is quickly becoming the stuff of legend around the National Football League. A former scaffolder-turned-Indonesian tattoo shop owner sells his stake in his business and uses the money to come to America.
After starting in community college, Hedley's punting abilities take him to the University of Miami and now, at 30 years old, he's an NFL rookie.
Well "The U" has lots of famous names in its alumni rolls, particularly from its football program, and that includes another man whose journey to success was a "rocky" one.
Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson played defensive end for the Hurricanes once upon a time, but when his pro football dreams stalled, he followed in his family's tradition and became a professional wrestler. Eventually, his charisma garnered him an acting career outside the ring, and now, the man once known professionally as The Rock is one of the most famous people in the world.
And when it comes to the Saints' interesting special teams addition, The Rock certainly seems to know "what's cooking.'"
Maybe if Johnson gets the itch to get back in front of a rabid live crowd like back in his wrestling heyday, he could come down to the Dome, raise his eyebrow, and lead the Who Dat chant? There's always room on the Who Dat bandwagon.
