NFL careers don’t generally last very long (unless you’re a kicker or Tom Brady). Therefore, it’s always good to have a backup plan.
Former Alabama QB AJ McCarron is now with the Buffalo Bills, where he’ll have a chance to become a starter for the first time in his career, but that doesn’t mean he’s ignoring the future.
This weekend, McCarron told AL.com that he’d love to get into racing when he’s done with football:
“Eventually, I want to get into racing,” McCarron said on Saturday, when he hosted his fourth annual free football camp at Baker High School in Mobile. “My grandfather raced at Irvington back in the day when it was a dirt track and then Sunny South (in Grand Bay). I want to get into racing eventually. I love it. I do IRacing a lot with some of my NASCAR buddies.”
McCarron added that he’d prefer to get into truck racing, and loves the competitiveness of the sport.
For now, though, McCarron’s focus is on the upcoming NFL season. The Bills drafted Wyoming QB Josh Allen in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, so his margin for error this summer is razor-thin.
