Former NFL running back Steven Jackson was happy to rejoin the league with a one-day contract to officially retire with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams but was not so happy with the summons to submit to a drug test according to Jared Schwartz of the New York Post.
“Dear NFL can you tell Mr. Lombardo that I signed a one day contract,” Jackson said. “I will not be reporting today for my random drug test screening. Thanks in advance #retirement life.”
While Jackson has kept himself in great shape and looks like he could play tomorrow, the reality is that he is a 36-year-old whose last NFL action was a short stint with the New England Patriots, capping off an illustrious 12-year career.
