DeAngelo Williams hasn't officially retired from the NFL, and he hasn't closed the book on returning to a contender for the 2017 season, but for now his energy is squarely focused on making his professional wrestling debut.
After appearing on an episode of IMPACT Wrestling on April 27, alongside former Cleveland Browns tight end Gary Barnidge, Williams has officially signed on to compete in a tag team match. In videos released on social media by IMPACT Wrestling (formerly known as TNA), Williams appears to be taking this opportunity seriously as he undergoes the rigors of training in the ring.
