Later.

he didn't giveup in football he was released.

and... after he was released, he gave up and didn't keep training or try out next season.

He's a hero in Minnesota, if what talent he had in football mixed in with the attention/merchandise sales, etc. etc. etc. he would bring just being on the team even if he didn't play much, if that wasn't enough to get him on the Vikings, he wasn't gonna make any other NFL team anytime soon.

Lesnar didnt quit on football, I remember NFL-E, CFL, and Practice Squad talks involving Lesnar after the Viks cut him.. he obviously just moved on to other things after realising that he.. sucks at football.

[Matt Boone]

He made it past a lot of the cuts and almost made the team in like the worst position possible, but yeah like I said if he wasn't going to make the Vikings team for all the reasons I listed, unless he really spent some serious time and effort on his shit...he wasn't gonna make any other team anytime soon.

[Afro]

I dont remember him being a pre-draft Cut or a June 1st cut

all I remember is he was cut, and he played DT, and he stuck it out a little longer before moving on.

lesner, with a little bit of training would probably dominate the HW division in the UFC. aside from maybe arlovski.

In turn, he gave up. Yeah, the Vikings cut him, but if it was really his dream to play football, he could've done something. He's got the size, speed, and the tools, he just wanted the glory......those are my two lincolns. He could have honed his skills elsewhere, AFL, CFL.....

I think it'd be way more than a little bit of training to dominate the division. Not knowing submission defenses would KILL him if he went right into the UFC HW title picture. Plus I have no idea what his stand up would be like. I think he'd be a lot like an enormous Diego Sanchez. Meaning that if his opponent had good take down defense he wouldn't be terribly effective, like Diego at UFC 60. While he did win the fight, being denied take downs repeatedly visibly had an affect on him.

You put Lesnar up against Tim Sylvia ( who has great take down defense IMO, eventhough I don't like him, and without a lot of training Lesnar gets Deboed.
