Joe Burrow And Other Mic’d Up Players Were Completely Confused By “The Rock’s” Super Bowl Introduction

Like many of us watching at home, Joe Burrow wasn’t quite sure what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was going on the field as team were lining up for the opening kickoff at the Super Bowl.

The prominent actor was doing an introduction. And as he was out there, some mic’d up players had funny reactions.

Joe Burrow openly asked if he was on the Rams kick return team, Zac Taylor couldn’t help but laugh, and Aaron Donald was told that he was looking into the future at what his career is going to be.

Check out some of the hilarious reactions:

“It is time. It is time for all of us here and millions around the world to bear witness to these incredible players who will leave every once of sweat, guts and pride and legacy on this hallowed field because that is what champions do,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced “Ladies and gentleman, it is my honor to say, finally, it is time for the Super Bowl!”

Joe Burrow would later hilariously compliment the actor’s shoes. And after the game, “The Rock” — who played college football at Miami — talked about the on-field moment.

“I worked my ass off for years and just knew I was going to will that dream to come true. I failed and none of it happened. Just wasn’t my journey,” he wrote alongside a photo of him entering the stadium.

“Now, years later, life has come full circle as I will stand on the 50 yard line at the Super Bowl — and galvanize, bring together and electrify 80,000+ passionate football fans who love the game like I do,” he continued. “Funny how life works sometimes.”

“My football dreams failed, but many years later — they kinda came true.

In a much bigger and more influential way.”

While we’ll likely continue to see “the Rock” involved in future Super Bowls (at some capacity), we’ll all hope to see Joe Burrow’s Bengals back, as well.
