ESPN's College GameDay was everything it was advertised to be on Saturday.

The "Worldwide Leader in Sports" announced Friday Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be their guest picker, and he didn't disappoint.

Johnson has a relationship with the Sanders family that goes back decades and starting with Coach Prime. He spent time around Shedeur while on the campus of Jackson State for XFL tryouts two years ago. The former WWE Champion was also a standout at the University of Miami, with exactly one recruiting cycle between Sanders before he left Florida State for the NFL.
