WWE: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Big E Langston

4. He Was An Athlete Before He Was A WWE Superstar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO7gxp3Qomc Unsurprisingly, many wrestlers come to the WWE after having somewhat successful athletic careers. The Rock, Goldberg, Faarooq, and Titus O'Neil were all football players. Jack Swagger, Brock Lesnar, and (probably most successfully) Kurt Angle are accomplished wrestlers. After watching just one of Big E's matches, it's plain to see that he is an athletic specimen. And just like the superstars previously mentioned, he too was an accomplished athlete before debuting in WWE. In fact, he was a Florida High School wrestling state champion and a Division I college football letter winner. I wonder where those accolades rank in Langston's mind alongside his Intercontinental Championship reign.
