NEW YORK — David Nelson is unexpectedly facing a difficult decision.
The NFL wide receiver, who's currently a free agent, believes he is being forced to choose between his football career and his life's mission.
"I'm at a crossroads," Nelson wrote in a blog Friday on the website for his nonprofit organization, I'mME. "While I'm grateful for the opportunities the NFL has given me over the years, I'm confused by what I've recently been given: an ultimatum."
The 28-year-old Nelson has 138 career receptions and 10 touchdowns in five NFL seasons. He spent his first three years with Buffalo, and was in camp with Cleveland in 2013 before being signed by the New York Jets.
