I'll always deem Lesnar to be a once in a generation, or even lifetime, athlete. The guy went from wrestling, almost made the NFL, had a successful UFC run, and came back to WWE without missing much of a beat at all. Even in his 40s, he's still super agile and quick. He's legitimately a once in a generation or lifetime athlete.
I agree. Lesnar was also an NCAA national champion as a wrestler. His NFL combine numbers are extremely similar to JJ Watts' numbers (Watts a bit bigger, Lesnar a bit faster) and Watts is a pretty freaky athlete. It's still amazing that Lesnar came even remotely close to making the NFL despite being injured during the training camp and having not played football in university (or at a high level in high school).
There must be an alternate reality out there where Lesnar remained motivated to wrestle, Rock never left for Hollywood and wrestling was far better over the past 13 years.
