Tough position to play when you just don't have it anymore.

Sounds like sour grapes from Ajayi getting all the shine if you ask me.

No, he is just tired of getting hurt so much that it cost him the starting job.

He retired because he has a disease called sour grapes?

He retired because injuries were mounting. His body could not take the pounding anymore.

Rabbit food is not good for football players...rabbits do not play football.

Have you seen my baseball?

He was injury-prone. I do not support a vegan diet but injuries are caused by playing football.

Eat a steak once in awhile you nub!

He did play earlier this season, then got hurt. I doubt the Dolphins would have cut him midseason.

I know what the Dolphins did. They played him, then benched him. At no point, however, did he say before his most recent injury he was thinking about retirement.

Being Vegan is good for you, but playing football, especially rb, is not. Its like a good decision cancelled out by a even worse bad one.

I guess he didn't have a better career than MJD or Freddy T like some of those titans fans said he would.
