It’s pretty simple to me all of our jobs have risks and yet we go out there and do them anyway. Getting paid crumbs in comparison to what these NFL players get paid, every single one of them basically hit the lottery some more fortunate than others. At some point you have to look in the mirror and say I’ve proven my point and I’m ok with where my legacy goes from here. Factoring in the amount of money you’ve made in your career and your accomplishments.
It’s a violent game and that’s what we love about it. There was nothing more stress reliving for me than watching guys like Bob Sanders, Jason Belser, Clint Sessions, Freeney, Mathis, Franklin, Buckner, and Stewart can’t forget Clayton Geathers (I’ll never forget that 4th down hit). Laying a sledgehammer hit on a guy with the ball in the name of Indianapolis Colts while wearing the Blue Horseshoe on his helmet.
Playing in the NFL is a privilege guys run in burning buildings for way less. While you’re in it you lay it all on the line, but when it’s time to call it a career you don’t hesitate.
