After sitting out the past two seasons, Manti Te'o has confirmed his NFL career is over.
The 32-year-old explained his decision while speaking to TMZ Sports: "I'm playing a different game now. I'm trying to empower people. Trying to inspire people. That's the game that I'm playing now, and I'm trying to be the best at that."
Te'o was the subject of the Netflix documentary series Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist released in August 2022. The film is about the catfishing incident when he was dating a girl he'd never met who was said to have died in a car crash on the same day his grandmother died in September 2012.
