Maybe he just really likes the hat and overalls...


People turn down jobs all the time - even in a recession. But 24-year-old Keith Fitzhugh just turned down the dream job of many - to play professional football for the New York Jets. He'd already had three previous stints with the team that for some reason or another didn't work out. So, when the Jets came knocking this time he took a pass. Instead, he'll stay where he's at, employed by a local railroad company as a train conductor, which earns him just enough to take care of his ailing parents. How many retired, released, kicked-out, busted up, broken former football players do you think wish they had his foresight?
