WWE signs former NFL player Brennan Williams

[Prince Bálor]

Six-foot-seven, 300-pound former NFL offensive tackle Brennan Williams is joining the ranks of the WWE Performance Center. He reports to Orlando today to begin his training.

A third-round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2013, Williams played college ball at the University of North Carolina prior to joining the NFL. He was also part of the practice squads for the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots during his NFL tenure.

Williams, a lifelong fan of sports-entertainment, began training under WWE Hall of Famer Booker T in October 2015 after his NFL career ended. He made his in-ring debut for Booker's Houston-based Reality of Wrestling earlier this year, competing under the alias Marcellus Black.

In addition to his experience on the gridiron and in the ring, Williams holds a black belt in taekwondo.

Former third-round NFL draft pick Brennan Williams signs with WWE

"Brennan Williams is big – 6-foot-7 and 300 pounds.

He has a black belt in taekwondo.

And he has been trained by a Hall of Famer.

Sounds like the ingredients to start a WWE career.

Williams, a 2013 third-round NFL draft pick by the Houston Texans, signed with the WWE on Monday and reported to the Performance Center in Orlando to start his training.

Williams, whose dad also played in the NFL, was an offensive tackle at North Carolina before being selected No. 89 overall. He missed his rookie season after a knee injury and then was released in training camp in 2014. He was in training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars and then spent two days on the New England Patriots practice squad.

After being released, Williams went to Houston to train with Booker T and debuted in February under the ring name Marcellus Black. Days after his debut, he took part in a tryout at the Performance Center."
