The Big Dog: 5 Facts you didn't know about WWE's Roman Reigns 

#2. Roman Reigns has had a number of jobs

It's become fairly well-known that Reigns was originally pursuing a career in football before his switch to WWE. Reigns played football throughout college but went undrafted in the 2007 NFL draft, later being signed by the Minnesota Vikings.

It was during his time with the franchise that Reigns was first diagnosed with leukemia as part of his physical. The illness resulted in him being released by the team later that year. Reigns was then signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars but once again got cut, this time before the start of the 2007 season. Reigns went on to play football professionally into 2008. However, after being let go by the Edmonton Eskimos, Reigns retired from professional football.

There was then a gap between his retirement and when he joined WWE back in 2010, during this time, Reigns went and worked for his sister alongside Jimmy and Jey Uso as part of their furniture installation business.

The Usos revealed that they would fit all of the equipment in offices on a daily basis, which was Reigns' job for more than a year before he headed to WWE.
