When John Cena was offered an audio series
about a former college football star chasing an
NFL dream, he felt a personal connection to it
right away.
“The project really resonated with me because
I played college football and didn’t know what
I was going to do after my career ended,” Cena
said. “When I read the script, I wanted to do it
right away.”
That project, “64th Man,” makes its debut on
Audible on Thursday. Cena’s character in the
10-part series works at a grocery store and as a
trainer at a gym while pursuing anything to get
an NFL tryout.
Cena starred on the offensive line at
Division III Springfield College, where he
was a captain and led the school to its first
NCAA postseason appearance in 1998.
