I didn\u2019t have a job, I didn\u2019t have any money, I didn\u2019t have a home and I had a baby on the way, and football was done with me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you wanna know who gave me a chance? The team that gave me a chance was the WWE.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is by no means a retirement speech. I will beat this, and I will be back, so you will see me very, very soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>I\u2019d like to add my support and prayers to him, his family, his wife, and kids.
