It’s the time of year when many college football players declare for the NFL draft.
Many players will release a statement saying they are grateful for their college experience and look forward to what the future holds in the NFL.
But University of Washington linebacker Drew Fowler announced he’s declaring for something other than the NFL at his position.

“When I first committed here in 2019, I talked about taking “the road less traveled.” Damn, did I have any idea what that would really mean? Playing with 4 head coaches, 3 athletic directors, 4 coordinators and a global pandemic, my experience at UW has been nothing short of special,” Fowler said in his release.
Fowler then thanked his coaches, academic advisors, athletic trainers, teammates and everyone who helped him along his journey, before concluding his statement with a curveball.

“That being said, I am officially declaring myself on the job market. In other words, I need a job. If you know anyone who has a job opportunity, I’m your guy. Serious , hardworking, sneaky athletic, locker room dude, I’ll bring my lunch pail to work,” Fowler wrote.
“My LinkedIn is updated and I’m #OpenToWork.”
“Thank you, Husky Nation.”

Washington lost to Louisville 35-34 in the Sun Bowl on Tuesday, ending Fowler’s college career.
Fowler played five years, all with Washington, and had 42 combined tackles including one for loss during his career.
He will now seek to put his talents into the job market.
