to stay out of trouble. Works part time 12 hours per week. He makes the NFL minimum $390,000.
St. Louis Rams running back Terrance Ganaway is an extremely hard worker, even when that work involves creating an Ultimate Porker or Bootlegger Club.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the sixth-round 2012 draft pick, who sat behind Steven Jackson, Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead on the depth chart last season, decided staying out of trouble was the most important thing before offseason workouts, so he got a job at a local sandwich shop.
Ganaway, a former Baylor standout, works at Jimmy John?s on Fourth Street in Waco, Texas, where he is still learning the intricacies of each and every sandwich.
I?m on the line that makes the sandwiches. I bake bread. Take the cashier spot. I had to sweep the other day. Clean the tables. I mean, all types of stuff. Slice the meat. Wrap the meat.
I?m in the heat of the battle. Trying to make sandwiches fast is Jimmy John?s policy, so it?s kind of stressful.
How awesome is that?
The 24-year-old running back was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets and failed to get any touches in the three games he played for the Rams.
Still, he made the league minimum of $390,000, so this is hardly a player looking to supplement his income. The NFL back isn't even sure how much he is being paid, offering, "I?m probably guessing minimum wage?$7.25 to $7.50 (an hour)," according to the report.
Ganaway says his main motives in working at the sandwich shop are to save money and stay out of trouble?reasons that are all too rare in any sport.
When the thought of putting his free time to good use started up, he tweeted jokingly that he was looking for work. That's when a local Jimmy John's said it was hiring.
A quick application later, and a professional athlete was donning an apron and asking customers if they wanted mayo with their Beach Club.
