In what is unexpected news, recently signed Jaguars DE Rodney Gunter is stepping away from football due to a heart condition.
In a post on social media, Gunter said he saw several heart specialists who told him that if he continues to play football, he could have a ruptured aorta, which could lead to death.
Gunter signed a three year deal with the Jaguars this March after playing for the Arizona Cardinals since when he was drafted in 2015.
