Xavier Woods Shares His Name With a New NFL Player

You might have heard this one before. It’s not often that the NFL and WWE cross over but that was the case recently when the Dallas Cowboys drafted a safety from Louisiana Tech in the sixth round. This might not sound like anything interesting, but it turns out that the safety has a name that might be familiar to wrestling fans.

As luck would have it, the Dallas Cowboys drafted a player named Xavier Woods in the sixth round. WWE.com made sure to make it clear that the two were in fact different people. In a slightly less serious note, they also pointed out a meme that CBS Sports put out, showing the name the two players share.

Opinion: While this is little more than a coincidence, it’s always cool to see a mainstream sports outlet discuss WWE. I thought the same thing when I saw Woods being drafted and it gave me a little smile. Wrestling can get inside your head like that at times and there’s nothing wrong with that.
