Growing larger as a part of his football practice, Dennis surpassed his height with new muscle mass and went on to become one of the premier rebounders in the NBA.

As part of an athletic scholarship offer at Rutgers University, Rodman grabbed a role as a starter in his freshman year, playing alongside 8-time All-Star Marcus Camby for head coach Bill Foster’s Scarlet Knights basketball team. After two seasons, he would be drafted by the Chicago Bulls.
