An NFL center who was offered a $35million contract to play for the St Louis Rams gave it all up to start a farm near his home.
Jason Brown, 31, left football behind to grow sweet potatoes in his home county of Louisburg, North Carolina – despite being ranked one of the best players in the league.
Brown decided his Christian faith would be better served by growing food for the needy than throwing balls on a pitch – and told his stunned agent he was turning down the lucrative deal with the Rams in April 2012.
