ASHBURN, Va. -- The powerful message revealed a lot about former Washington Redskins safety Kyshoen Jarrett. He hadn’t spoken about his nerve injury to his shoulder and neck, which occurred a year ago in Dallas, until tweeting about it Tuesday.

Jarrett’s tweet talked a lot about religion and his relationship with God. It also serves as a reminder how quickly the game can change one’s life. Jarrett went from being a contributing rookie with a bright future to out of the game.

“I was a sponge & it allowed me to play multiple positions sometimes all in 1 game as a “rookie”,” he wrote.
