How’d you like former Seahawks’ lineman John Moffitt to pick you up the next time you use Uber?

If a recent New York Times article by Ken Belson is any indication, it could happen.

Moffitt, who you’ll recall abruptly retired from the NFL last year at the age of 27, has been up to a lot of things since leaving the game that made him famous. As Belson’s piece details, he’s done some partying (OK, a lot of partying), performed stand-up comedy, been through some tough times in his personal life, and has been arrested on drug and battery chargers. Now, as his father points out in the article, he’s at a crossroads. What Moffitt does next will likely define him far more than anything he did between the hashmarks.

And, believe it or not, one of the many things he’s considered is driving for Uber.

From the NYT:

Moffitt is still unsure of how he will make a living, though he is interested in the film industry. He has considered driving an Uber cab and doing more standup comedy. In a few months, he said he would leave Seattle and his circle of football friends to start fresh in a new city. He is spending time with Sean Pamphilon, who has made documentaries about football players and witnessed their ups and downs.

“There’s a duality to John that I’m sure you understand: He’s incredibly funny, or he really wants to go inside himself and disappear,” Pamphilon said. “I’m excited to see how he can use his brain while not getting it beaten in.”

In fairness, you should really go read the whole NYT profile. The headline here is a bit of a sham. Moffitt’s story is about far more than an NFL player possibly going from the gridiron to gridlock traffic as a rideshare cabbie. Like so many of us, Moffitt has his demons, he’s just been forced to deal with them in the public limelight. He’s human. And Belson does an admirable job telling his post-NFL story.

So far.
