Published Aug. 1, 2016 10:41 a.m. ET

The WWE is home to a number of stars who have spent time in the NFL, from Roman Reigns to Brock Lesnar, and on Monday the WWE announced that the 89th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft is coming to the Performance Center in Orlando. Former North Carolina Tar Heels star Brennan Williams - who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 300 pounds - was drafted by the Houston Texans but suffered a knee injury in his rookie year. He went on to have short stints with the Patriots and Jaguars, but eventually turned to pro wrestling.

Williams, billed from "The Savage Lands of Shaolin," is also an anime and Pokemon Go enthusiast and is pretty hilarious on Twitter.
