MONTREAL --
It appears that Trey Rutherford will not be back with the Montreal Alouettes in 2021.
The young left guard announced his decision to quit football in a text he signed and published on the website 3DownNation.com.
The former second overall pick in the 2018 draft explained that he thought a lot about his future during the pandemic.
He believes that after realizing his dream of playing professional football, now is the time to think about another of his dreams: to become a police officer.
"At 25, I hope to have several more years ahead of me and do a lot of good in this world," he wrote.
