If you were Devon Allen, would you retire from football?

Devon Allen is 21 years old. Finished 5th in the Olympics in the 110 meter hurdles. 2 time D-1 champ, already the US national champ. Fastest time is .23 below the world record and he has never fully committed to track. Also a promising receiver who caught 41 passes as a freshman. Since then he has battled injuries.
He tore his ACL over the weekend. He already tore his other ACL in January 2015, and it didn't seem to do anything to his track speed. Assuming he makes a similar recovery this time, what you do if you were in his shoes?
I would retire from football in a millisecond.

Could he make a decent living as a hurdler? If so, yes.

Minimum 200K endorsements per year since he is a Nike/Oregon guy and already an Olympian and US champ. Also would get 35-40K per year from USATF and whatever he gets from Diamond League wins. That's a conservative estimate.
Of course guys lose form all the time for whatever reason, and Nike is brutal with their contracted writedowns for underperformance.

Devon Allen would get picked up by Nike and make some good money especially since he went to Oregon. He'll get the "Homie Hook Up"

Retire and spend all day trying to bang Hannah Cunliffe.

Hannah cunliffe is the sexiest college athlete right now in my opinion.

And unlike Allison Stokke she's actually good. I felt legitimately bad for her when she got pulled up at national championships.

me too. She could've made It to the Olympics probably. My god she has a nice body though.
