Why I Wear #54 - Dwayne The Rock Johnson Reveals
Star actor, Dwayne Johnson has revealed why he wears no. 54.

He wrote;

“Why I wear #54.

There are 53 men on an @NFL roster who ball out on Sundays and live their dreams.

I was #54.

I was that player who was told, “you’re good, but you’re not good enough…
.. thank you for all your hard work and this is where it all ends.”

When you worked, lived and breathed a lifetime for something you were so passionate about, only to be told you’re not good enough and there’s nothing you can do it about.

Hurts.

It became one of the biggest kicks in the gut I ever got and one of the biggest mental health challenges of my life.

But as painful as it was to accept the dream is over — it also created a hunger, intensity and it gave me the biggest fucking chip on my shoulder to attack life with a relentless ferocity.

This is why #54 on my back is so deeply personal to me.

Grit, resolve, ferocity, passion, relentlessness.

Life is much different for me these days and I’m forever grateful, but that chip never goes away.

Ever.
