A former NFL player may have just plans for his next career relocation: Congress.

According to local reports, former Arizona Cardinals Kicker Jay Feely, currently CBS analyst, is seriously “doing a race on a seat in Congress in the state.

Feely is “to lay the foundation” to begin a race for the State 5th Congress District, according to Arizona Republic. Current Rep. Andy Biggs will run to Governor next year and his seat will be vacated.

Outlet noted that Feely has played golf with President Donald Trump both in Bedminster and Mar-A-Lago, while also becoming friendly with Republican leaders in the state.

About 45% of active voters in the district are Republican – 20% are Democrats.

Feely would hardly be the first former athlete who tried his hand in Congress. Tommy Tuberville and Herschel Walker have both done the same.

Since the seat was formed in 1983, it has been red for everyone except only six years.

Feely was not drafted out of Michigan in 1999. He was part of the National Champion team in 1997 and first joined the Arena Football League before debuting in Atlanta Falcons in 2001.

He played there for four seasons before heading for New York Giants for two, and then had a year of stint with Miami Dolphins in 2007, when he just lacked Giants’ Super Bowl XLII victory.

Feely then suited Jets in 2008 and 2009 before spending his next four seasons with the Cardinals. He hung up in the clots after the 2014 season, which he spent with Chicago Bears.
