Son of wrestling icon signs with Saints as he targets NFL career before joining cousin in WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner will be grappling with New Orleans Saints fandom.
‘The Genetic Freak’ has clearly passed his athletic genes down to the next generation in son Brock Rechsteiner.
Brock played wide receiver for the Jacksonville State Gamecocks.
He had 53 catches for 629 yards and seven touchdowns from 2023 to 2025, with 36 grabs for 383 yards and five scores in his final season.
It was not enough to hear his name called in the NFL Draft, but the Tennessee Titans saw enough to pick him up as an undrafted free agent.
That stint didn’t last very long, but he was later invited to the Saints’ rookie minicamp and impressed enough to earn a contract.
Brock and his brother Brandon signed NIL deals with WWE last year.
Brandon was a guard for the Colorado State Rams men’s basketball team and transferred to Kansas State after averaging 12 points per game.
Both have ambitions of following their dad into the family business one day, but for now are sticking to the field and court.
“I want to pursue football a long as I can, play as long as I can, but once I’m done, I’ll get into wrestling, too,” Rechsteiner said via WDSU-TV’s Sharief Ishaq.
He credits family with inspiring him to put the work in.
“My dad is a very hard worker, my uncle is a hard worker, my cousin Bron Breaker is a very hard worker, so it kind of just showed us how hard we need to work to be great at what we want to do,” Rechsteiner said.
WWE icons Scott and Rick Steiner
Scott and his brother Rick both joined the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.
The former tag team champions are massive names in the sport and the family name is already being carried on.
Rick’s son Bronson was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Kennesaw State in 2020, but was soon released.
He quickly landed on his feet and is now a WWE star known as Bron Breakker.
Brandon hopes to form a new version of The Bloodline with his brother and Bron.
“So my brother, he’ll be a superstar in the WWE, for sure,” he told Post Wrestling. “Growing up, I was the big WWE fan. I had every action figure. I was the biggest WWE fan.”
He added: “My dream for me and my brother would both be to do the best we can in what we do, which him for football, me for basketball and then, for my brother, I know he really wants to be in WWE.
“He has signed an NIL deal with WWE so, my dream for him would be to do really good in football, try to take it to the NFL, whatever that means and then getting — and he will be a WWE superstar because he’s so talented and he has the charisma that my dad has.
“And then for me, I wanna try to do as much basketball, whether I get drafted, I go undrafted, I get a G League offer, I go overseas, whatever it’ll be. Because I just love the game and then, to be in the WWE would be a pretty cool backup plan.
“Maybe be a Steiner brother 2.0 or me, Bronson and my brother, we do a little Bloodline or something like that and just take it over.”
Whether it is on the field, court, or ring, you have not heard the last of the Rechsteiners.
