Shortly after I made the decision to retire from the NFL after my 11th season, I started thinking about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to feel in retirement at £320, staring down the path of diabetes, heart disease.

It was something that I was afraid of training.

Participle clauses

Most of my NFL career revolved around picking up heavy objects, pushing heavy objects.

Now being able to show up means that I gotta ask my body to do different things.

Cigna Healthcare connects connected me to my doctor, and

then we discussed a bunch of different options for weight loss, and

One of the things my doctor and I talked about was a different approach to exercise at this stage of my life.

They suggested focusing on things that are easier on my joints, things like swimming.

Being in the water is a special place because you are present.

And every time I jump in the water, I get that little childlike joy.

I've gone through some big transitions in life.

One of the certainties of retirement is uncertainty.

Cigna Healthcare has been the perfect partner in retirement because they've been able to grow with me and change.

It gave me a lot of peace knowing that Cigna Healthcare, who had been there for my entire NFL career up until this point, was going to be there when I was ready to take that first step.

Being a successful piece of every team requires a lot of trust, and

I trust Cigna Healthcare to be a reliable and flexible partner for my health.
