Former Cincinnati Bengals<\/u><\/a> quarterback A. J. McCarron has hit the ground running in his first season in the XFL, leading the St. Louis Battlehawks to two thrilling comeback victories for a 2-0 start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aside from his performance on the field, McCarron received praise from XFL owner Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson<\/u><\/a> on Friday because of his decision to leave the NFL to pursue a career where he could “create memories” with his two young boys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Takes less money signing with us over the NFL<\/u><\/a> because he wanted his little boys to see him play,” Johnson said of McCarron in a tweet earlier Friday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Now he\u2019s 2-0 and led his team to back-to-back exciting last minute wins. I\u2019d say he\u2019s creating some memories for his boys. AJ\u2019s decision means a helluva lot to me, personally.”<\/p>\n

Johnson was referring to remarks McCarron made last week regarding his decision to pursue a career in the XFL over the NFL, where he served as backup quarterback to teams including the Atlanta Falcons,<\/u><\/a> the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My 6-year-old loves watching tape of me on YouTube. That\u2019s a big reason I chose to return this way,” McCarron said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I probably could\u2019ve tried to come back with an NFL team and had a chance to probably make bigger money, but no one knows what the future holds. I\u2019m enjoying this, and it\u2019s a great way to create some memories for me and my boys.”<\/p>\n

The Battlehawks defeated the Seattle Sea Dragons on Thursday night, 20-18, after McCarron led his team to a fourth quarter comeback. Placekicker Donny Hageman, who played at San Diego State<\/u><\/a> before moving on to the Arena Football League, solidified the win with a 44-yard field goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McCarron completed 22 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown in that game. He also rushed for 41 yards and another score on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ever since I came out of college I\u2019ve been counted out a little bit,” McCarron said after the game. “And it\u2019s just fun to come out here and play. I miss playing, not always just being a backup and that\u2019s a great living. It really is and I absolutely love it but I love playing.This is special and I can’t thank the XFL enough.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
