Before signing with the Eagles, Myles Jack considered attending trade school to become an electrician or plumber.
The former UCLA star has made over $50 million, but he wanted to stay busy and contemplated a career change before Philadelphia called with an opportunity.
Jack is walking away from the game after one preseason game and two weeks at the NovaCare Complex, informing team officials that he will retire.
