Jake Plummer got tired of the NFL, content with new life

Nov 17, 2011, 2:18 AM | Updated: 3:39 am

Jake Plummer had a 10-year NFL career, one that saw him
experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

As a Cardinal, Plummer guided the team to the playoffs in
1998, the team’s first postseason birth since moving to
the desert.

His career with the Cardinals lasted another four years,
but he did not reach the playoffs again until 2003, as a
member of the Denver Broncos. His team reached the AFC
Championship Game in 2005, and was rewarded by the team
drafting Jay Cutler in the first round of the 2006 NFL
Draft.

Needless to say, the ups and downs wore on the former ASU
star.
