King Corbin, as he is known today in WWE, was once trying to make a name for himself in the NFL. He went undrafted in the NFL Draft 2009 but was still signed by the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts would later release him and he would sign with the Arizona Cardinals. His involvement in a team scuffle eventually resulted in him being released by the franchise in 2011.

Corbin then joined NXT in 2012 and the rest, as we say, is history. He's gone on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, the King of the Ring tournament, and the United States Championship.
