semi ot - should ex-nflers try 7s rugby?

[RUfinal4]

I remember during the olympics there were a few ex football players on the USA rugby team.

Should a guy like Ray Rice try rugby if a football job does not emerge? His alternatives to play are Canadian football or arena football.

He could always just get a normal job while he still has his health. These guys have abused their bodies so much. You have to know when to walk away while you still can. No need to continue to chase glory because you already accomplished many people dream. I hope he invested wisely and put his degree to work. To many guys do not know how to transition after athletics and do everything to avoid reality that they are getting older and it time to get on with life's work.

Most players at this point are physically beat up and years behind their peers in the real job market...I get that some guys just need to find a way to keep playing but most just want to start the rest of their life
