“I got to high school, and I played because my friends played, and then when I realized that I was good enough for college, at that point it was to get school paid for,” Coffee said. “And I still had a year left to play at ’Bama, but I didn’t come back because I didn’t want to play football anymore. So I figured if I got paid to play football, I would tolerate it. So I got to the NFL and I got the money, and it was mo’ money, mo’ problems, pretty much. And I found out it wasn’t for me.”

Not many people, who play football that well, have their priorities in order. This guy does, even though he is still uncertain about his future. Kudos to Glen!

Ah, he's at Camp Rudder.

Tip of the cap to Glen. There aren't many people who will serve when they have other opportunities in life. Hope he becomes a Ranger.

“My cardio and endurance is definitely a lot better right now,” Coffee said. “Because in football, you’re not really in shape. People think you’re in shape, but you’re really not. Not like that.”

Very true, but it doesn't take long to adjust. They are still top tier athletes. Pat Tillman failed his initial physical fitness test (failed situps and 2 mile run) when he attended the ranger assessment and selection program (of course it was the Ranger Indoctrination Program at the time)

LOL, just because you're in football shape doesn't mean you're in running w/ a rucksack shape...
