An accidental career in the #nfl to a career as a ENT surgeon. #samkongado #greenbaypackers

Part of the beauty of my story is it. It's really not that I didn't want to play in the National Football League. I oftentimes it's. It's confused that, you know, I played in the National Football League and then made the decision after the fact to go to medical school, when in actuality it was the opposite. Like, so when. When you're coming from a small school like Ben Lepin High School in Columbia, South Carolina, and you go to Liberty and you're not really that highly recruited and you're a backup, you don't really, you're not deluded into thinking that you a legitimate chance of playing in the National Football League and you can put all of your eggs in that one basket. So I think my story allowed me to really develop other interests. I'd known for some time that I'd wanted to go to medical school, and so I had been working towards that end. And so the, the pursuit for, for the National Football League was only something that I could. That I did because I could still do both and without, you know, sacrificing the other.
