Ex-NFL standout Pat McAfee: WWE work has been 'time of my life'

By any measure, Pat McAfee’s NFL career was a successful one.

The former Indianapolis Colts punter played in a Super Bowl as a rookie, made two Pro Bowls and was Pro Football Focus’s highest graded punter of the 2010s despite retiring in 2016.

At 29 years old, McAfee walked away from professional football and began his second career as a media personality. In the four years since his retirement, McAfee has worked for Barstool Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports and has a syndicated, self-titled daily radio show on Westwood One.

To call McAfee’s transition seamless would be something of an understatement.
