Yet another NFL player stepping away from the game perhaps too early. After making the call to hang up the cleats this offseason, Mike DeVito recently expressed his train of thought on Sirius XM NFL Radio. The former 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive lineman emphasized his main motivation for calling quits had to do with his family, and more specifically, the concerns of his wife.
DeVito had struggled to stay healthy the past two seasons as a 3-4 DE for the Chiefs. In the 2014 opener, an unfortunate Achilles tear would put an end to his season and hurt Kansas City mightily in defending against the run.
