Former NFL Player Says He’d Skip Going Pro If He Could Do it All Over Again

In 2002, running back Ricky Williams led the NFL with 1,853 rushing yards. But anyone who watched him could tell that he was a different kind of guy. Not a bad different, just different.

Despite having major success in the NFL and making millions of dollars, Ricky recently admitted that if he could live his life over he would have skipped playing professional football.

Ricky explained, "I would do something else. Because of the career I had at the University of Texas, I had so many doors open to me to finish up school and pretty much go anywhere in the world and do whatever I wanted to do. I had that open to me and I decided to play football because that seemed like the next logical choice. But some people are built for the NFL and some people aren't, and I don't think I was a person who was really built for success in the NFL."

I absolutely respect Ricky for his honesty.
