When you grow up playing football and you have a passion for it the ultimate goal is to be a NFL star.
That's exactly what former St. Louis Ram Jason Brown had done for himself. Brown received a five-year, $37 million contract in 2009 with $20 million guaranteed.
What is Brown up to now? Well he isn't playing football anymore. As a matter of fact Brown is now a full-time farmer in North Carolina.
You might be thinking to yourself, "Oh, I bet that was his real passion and decided to go back to what he knows best." Wrong. Brown actually learned how to farm via YouTube.
According to CBSnews.com, his agent thought he was making a huge mistake.
"My agent told me, 'You're making the biggest mistake of your life,'" said Brown. "And I looked right back at him and I said, 'No I'm not. No I'm not.'"
Brown has now made his farm far more valuable than football. He now has a project called "First Fruits Farm" and he donates the first fruits of every harvest to food pantries.
