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

[Panthro]

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

 

Meh...and they want to be dentists

[Ja Rhule]

Don't judge!

[Panthro]

I don't fault people for following their passions. If this is what he wants to pursue than so be it. I wish I could walk away from money for a career in marine biology. 

 

 

[RJK]
