JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Rashean Mathis isn’t completely sure what he’s going to be doing with the next part of his life now that he has retired from professional football, but he does know that golf is going to be a big part of it.
Mathis, who signed a one-day contract and retired as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday afternoon, said he has been working almost daily at a golf academy at a Jacksonville-area course with the hope that he’ll one day be good enough to play professionally.
"Right now it’s family and church, and my family has given me a little way to make golf something that I focus on," Mathis said.
