Most people would think playing professional football would be living the dream. But on Wednesday, the news came out that Asher Allen had retired, leaving most people rather surprised. Even coach Leslie Frazier had been surprised by Allen's decision to leave the NFL.
Allen's only 24 and has only played three seasons, this could have been his last with the Vikings since his rookie contract runs out at the end of the season. Admittedly he hasn't ended his past seasons well, he's suffered concussions the last two seasons. But since he hasn't said he's leaving for health reasons, he's left a lot of Vikings fans scratching their heads. I know that he wouldn't have made this decision without thinking it through, but I'm still confused and can't wait to hear his explanation for leaving the NFL.
