Jay Ajayi is retiring from the NFL and right into the gaming world The former Dolphins and Eagles running back is a pro gamer now. Ajayi who was born in England and has an extensive soccer background is trying his hand at becoming a professional gamer in FIFA. Ajayi has signed with the Philadelphia Union E sports team.
“I thought it would be a cool, little opportunity to check out the esports world and see how good I am at FIFA,” said Ajayi, the first NFL player to become a professional gamer. “I like to believe that I’m very good, that I’m great, so we’ll see. It’s good to have that mentality. You don’t want to go in with a losing attitude.”
“There are few guys who are really into FIFA,” Ajayi said. “Those are the guys I tried to tap in with, to play against and see if they are any good or not. They are solid, but, again, I’m the best.”
FIFA is by far the most fun sports video game to play. Hands down. There is no better game to play. Especially when you mix in a few drinks. I want to challenge Ajayi to a game on the sticks. If you haven’t been following along, watch our Youtube series. I’m using Arsenal.
So far, things are not going well for Ajayi.
The last update that was given, Ajayi has not won a game yet and every other competitor won a minimum of 2 games. The -50 goal differential is a tough look. 9 games and getting waxed. Maybe Ajayi shouldn’t be so quick to quit football. He’s actually only 26 surprisingly, but his knees are shot. Dear, Jay. If you read this, I want in on a game.
