Terrific story on Jon Kitna about life after the NFL and faith.

But Kitna, who turns 40 on Friday, has taken a different path. He had a plan to follow, a purpose bigger than himself and more important than money. It was late January, less than a month after announcing his retirement from the Dallas Cowboys, that Kitna returned to work, accepting the job of head football coach and algebra teacher at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash.

“That made me really ask, ‘Who am I, really?’ ” Kitna says. “That was when I accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. My whole life completely, radically changed. Who I was before that and who I am now are two totally opposite people.”
