Amongst team sports, pro football players have the shortest careers due to the obvious rigors of playing tackle football. The average career length of an NFL player is just 3.3 years, so those who do make it to the highest level within football usually want to stick around in the league as long as possible. However, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua isn’t of that mindset, as the Pro Bowler has already set an end date for his NFL career, which just began in 2023.
“I know I want to retire at the age of 30,” Nacua said on the Join The Lobby podcast. “I’m 23 right now, I’m going into year 3. It wouldn’t even be 10 years. It'd be maybe seven or eight. I think of Aaron Donald, to go out at the top, I think it would be super cool.”
