(CHRISTIAN HEADLINES) – One of the Indianapolis Colts' top defensive players announced his retirement Wednesday after only three seasons in the league, saying he wants to pursue a lifetime of Christian ministry.
Khari Willis, 26, made the surprising announcement on Instagram, thanking his coaches, teammates and fans while emphasizing that he was following God's will.
Willis was the Colts' starting strong safety and finished fifth on the team in tackles last season. He was drafted in the fourth round out of Michigan State in 2019. In retiring, he walked away from the $2.54 million he would have earned during the 2022 season, USA Today reports. He had earned about $3 million during his first three seasons.
