Before becoming “The Original Tribal Chief” and the “Head of the Table,” Roman Reigns had aspirations to play football. Reigns, real name Leati Joseph Anoa’i, played the sport in high school and was named Defensive Player of the Year during his senior year.
He then attended Georgia Tech, where he played on a team with Calvin Johnson. Anoa’i became a three-year starter and earned First Team All-ACC honors in 2006. But despite recording 40 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his senior year, he went undrafted in the 2007 NFL Draft.
Though Anoa’i eventually became a popular sports entertainment figure, Topps relived his football days with a 1-of-1 autograph card, which is among the inserts of the 2026 Bowman Football collection.
This set is now available on the Topps website, and it is sold in Value Box, Mega Box, Hobby Box, Jumbo Box, and Sealed Case variations. Sealed Cases also come in Hobby Box and Jumbo Box options.
In addition to the one-of-a-kind Anoa’i autograph card, the Bowman Football set stays true to its identity as the home of prospecting with its 201-card set featuring CJ Carr, CJ Brown, Cam Coleman, and Arch Manning.
