I led the NFL in attempts the past two years and they really didnโt go out and get a quarterback to help me so I knew itโs going to be all on me again. I could see my mortality as a football player, that Iโm not going to be able to do this much longer. It just became obvious to me that playing football for me is not going to be fun, not something Iโm going to enjoy and itโs time for me to do something different.
