Didn't Deacon Jones retire in his prime?

I remember in some NFL Films video, he was t as long as bout retiring when he could still walk straight and he had no regrets to when he retired.

 

[Ricky Roma]

I'd like to say I stopped at Jake Locker, but I needed more laughs.

 

[Racer8825]

Lets give some of these credit. They decided to walk away from the game they love so they don't risk their health later on in life. Know how hard that is to do?

38 is considered athletic prime nowadays?

And I guess Jake Locker is retired in the same sense that Colin Kaepernick is retired.
