Athleticism can run in a family. Just ask Steven Borden Jr., a tight end trying out for theKansas City Chiefs.

Borden Jr., who played collegiately at Kentucky, is the son of Steven Borden Sr.

That’s right. Borden Jr. is the son of professional wrestling legend Sting and says his father’s success in the ring has been a motivating factor throughout his football career.

“It’s actually been one of those things that has pushed me my entire life,” Borden Jr. said Sunday per the Kansas City Star. “You see what your dad has done, you want to beat him out.”

Borden Jr. said he hears wisecracks from time to time in the locker room, but doesn’t let what other people may say about his father’s career bother him.

“It’s never bothered me. I’m used to it by now,” he said. “You’re going to get a couple comments here and there in the locker room, but eventually people just see me as Steven Borden, and that’s what it is.”

Little known fact about me but my Dad was a professional wrestler when I was growing up.

And the good thing about that is he never really hit me.

Dad needs to return to WWE.
