A former NFL player can have plans for his next career movement: Congress.
According to local reports, the former Cardinals of the Arizona Cardinals, Jay Feely, currently CBS analyst, is “seriously considering” making a race in a seat in Congress in the State.
Feely is “laying the bases” to start a race for the fifth district of the State Congress, according to the Republic of Arizona. The current Andy Biggs representative is running for governor next year, and his seat will be unemployed.

The outlet said that Feely has played golf with President Donald Trump both in Bedminster and Mar-A-Lago, while becoming friendly with Republican leaders in the state.
Approximately 45% of active voters in the district are Republicans: 20% are Democrats.
Feely would hardly be the first former athlete to try his luck in Congress. Tommy Tuberville and Herschel Walker have done the same.

Since the seat formed in 1983, it has been red for all but six years.
Feely was not recruited outside Michigan in 1999. He was part of the national champion team in 1997 and first joined the Football League sand before making his NFL debut with the Atlanta Falcons in 2001.
He played there for four seasons before going to the New York giants for two, then he had a period of one year with the Miami Dolphins in 2007, just losing the victory of the XLII Super Bowlii of the Super Bowl of the Giants.
