JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith is not happy with the way some people have reacted to his decision to step away from football for the 2019 season.
Smith posted an Instagram story on Saturday in which he said he’s getting irritated with the criticism and reminded people that there’s more to life than football.
« Why is it so crazy I want to step away from the game? » Smith said. « Y’all just chill. Everything’s solid, you feel me? Stop going crazy. It’s getting aggravating. You feel me? Football ain’t everything. Y’all better wake the f— up. »
Smith posted a statement Thursday afternoon on his Instagram account saying that he would not play football in 2019 because he needed to take time off for his family and his health.
