He was raised by their single mother in rural Mumford, Texas, where she worked as a maid.

Coming from a low-income family background, Randle worked hard to fulfill his dream. And he definitely reached the pinnacle of success and is considered one of the greatest undrafted players of all time.

Besides, the former football player also has some acting credits under his name for movies like Arli$$, WCW Monday Nitro, and The NFL on CBS.

Moreover, Randle married his first wife, Rosie Salinas, during his senior year at Texas A&I. Rosie was a single parent with two sons.

John and Rosie had a daughter named Brittany Randle. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1996.

Unfortunately, there is no information regarding his daughter Brittany Randle.
