Malone had trained locally at Plex with veteran trainer Danny Arnold and Hall of Fame offensive lineman Bruce Matthews.

K.J. Malone made the right decision because if your heart is not in professional football you cannot play it. So instead of ending your career as an OT end your career as a retired Chief Superintendent of Police. Good luck to you K.J. and may success follow you where ever you go.

He is winner and has lots of other things he will prosper at. Rather that messing his body up to camp he said it’s time
