Prospective WWE wrestler & current OVW wrestler Atlas DaBone is indeed a former football player. His real name is Rich Young and he’s in his early 30’s. Young played college football at Tulsa as a linebacker. He later went on to play with Orlando Rage during the lone season of the XFL in 2001. He spent time on the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad in 1998, but never made the 53-man roster. Young went to training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2002, but was waived. He also worked out for the Seattle Seahawks at one point. He played in the Arena Football League for several years before leaving the sport to try out wrestling. A profile on him is still on the Arena League website at ArenaFootball.com. Thanks to LiL Nik for the help.
