Danny Vitale is ready to join the rank and file following his release from the New England Patriots.
The veteran fullback, who was cut by the Patriots on May 27, announced his NFL retirement over the weekend using a unique platform: LinkedIn.
Here's what Vitale posted on the professional networking site Saturday while updating his profile to include the #OpenToWork hashtag:
"I feel like my body is just ready to move on," Vitale wrote. "I’m looking for a new role and would appreciate your support."
Vitale was an economics major at Northwestern and states in his profile that he's seeking roles in private equity or hedge fund management, so it sounds like he's fully ready to trade in his pads for a suit.
