Long-time NFL offensive lineman Jon Runyan busted his ass in the offseason to recover from microfracture surgery aimed at allowing him to resume his career.
But once he was cleared to play again, he received scattered interest, but no acceptable offers.
So now he’s exploring his post-football opportunities, and he’s considering entering a realm that might even be more challenging that full-contact athletics.
Politics.
Per various reports (we were first tipped off by the folks at HuggingHaroldReynolds.com), Runyan could be running for Congress in New Jersey.
Runyan has not made his intentions known. If it happens, Runyan would be running as a Republican, and he would ultimately be challenging incumbent John Adler, a Democrat.
First, Runyan would have to secure the Republican nomination via the primary process.
We’re assuming that Runyan’s platform will focus on the right to bear arms. Really hairy arms.
