AWESOME: Former Rams Quarterback Retires and Enters Coaching…
Former Los Angeles Rams quarterback Sean Mannion is formally retiring from the NFL after nine professional seasons, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson. In the process, Mannion is giving up his cleats for a headset in order to advance in his football career by joining the coaching staff of the Green Bay Packers. Although his precise role is unknown, Mannion will apparently work with the Packers’ quarterbacks and passing game. Henderson posted on X, saying, “I’ve heard from multiple people over the last few years who believed Mannion was destined to coach due of his brilliance and understanding of the game.” “He finished the season on the Seahawks practice squad, so he’ll get that start in Green Bay.”
