Maurice Jones-Drew

It'd have been awesome.

I just mentally as a young kid, I didn't really think like that.

I didn't think about these things and what comes with those things.

I was such an in the moment kind of guy.

And there were a lot of things, like I said, that I wanted to do that I couldn't do because football was everything to me.

So I had to, like, give it one hundred and thirty percent.

Otherwise, I didn't feel like I would be prepared to play in the season.

And so over time, the offseason just got longer and harder and harder for me.

And so I was kind of done with it.

I wish I would have taken a break, not necessarily like take a year off, but just took a month off in the offseason and kind of let my body rejuvenate instead of training like that.

But, you know, you do those things, right?

And so to me, it's like, all right, I gained all this knowledge.

I have two sons.

Both are pretty good football players here.

Let me give you this stuff.

Right.

And then I tell them all the time, you make them pull you out of the league.

You make them tell you, you have to retire.

Right.

That's so funny.
