NFL team announces signing of Scott Steiner’s son Brock
Brock Rechsteiner won’t be crossing over into pro wrestling just yet.
The New Orleans Saints announced today that, after a successful stint in rookie minicamp, Rechsteiner has been signed to the team’s 90-man roster. The son of wrestling legend Scott Steiner, Rechsteiner played wide receiver at Jacksonville State and is now attempting to make it into the NFL at that same position.
Rechsteiner will now progress into the offseason with the Saints with the hope of making it to training camp and ultimately earning a spot on the team.
During rookie minicamp, Rechsteiner said he planned to go as far as he could in football before eventually entering the family business with WWE. Rechsteiner was already under an NIL deal with WWE while in college.
“I want to pursue football as long as I can, play as long as I can,” Rechsteiner said. “But once I’m done, I’ll get into wrestling too.”
Rechsteiner said seeing his father get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame helped inspire him to pursue a wrestling career down the line. Bron Breakker — once a football player himself — has been advising his cousin Rechsteiner to get into WWE once football is over for him.
During rookie minicamp, Rechsteiner earned praise from Saints wide receiver coach Keith Williams, who calls him “Stone Cold.”
“Yeah, ‘Stone Cold,'”Williams said. “He’s kind of nasty. I just told him, ‘Hey, if you get mad at me, just don’t put me in a small package. I know you’ve got a few (wrestling) moves up your sleeve.’ But yeah, ‘Stone Cold’ has been great.
Rechsteiner went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and spent time with the Tennessee Titans before joining the Saints. He has a brother named Brandon who is a college basketball player and also sees wrestling as a potential backup plan for himself.
