Jason Worilds Retires from the NFL to Focus on Being a Jehovah's Witness

[Cwood722]

Jason Worilds, a 27 former OLB for the Steelers, announced his retirement from professional football yesterday. He was reportedly projected to cash in on a big contract, but wanted to focus more on his faith rather than football. He was the Steelers sack leader last season.

Worilds, coming to a door step near you soon. 

 

 

 

But seriously, good for him. Made some cash, retired with his health, can focus on other things important to him.

I thought Willis retired because his feet hurt?

Good for both Jason and Patrick. Go after or follow the things most important to you.

That is awful. Religion strikes again.

Religion started and ended my first career

They probably didn't want to turn their brains into scrambled eggs.  "Dying aint much of a living, boy"

Religion started and ended my first career

It's basically saying I'm retiring to pursue a career as one of Santa's elves.
