To most people, the number three is meaningless and merely comes between two and four. To former NFL and Stanford wide receiver and tight end, Devon Cajuste, it carries a whole lot more. Many things in his life seem to have come in triplicate. Since entering the NFL in 2016 he been around for three seasons and has been signed by three different organizations: the 49ers, the Packers and the Browns.
On his journey he has endured tumultuous highs and lows and has realized that professional football might not be the quest he was meant to take. “I am going to leave the game of ball. My heart is just not in it anymore” Cajuste says, explaining that he has chosen to walk away from the game on his own terms. Now he is focused on three new paths that have nothing to do with the NFL; Cajuste has started his own business, has begun training athletes and has moved to L.A. to launch his acting career.
It was with his second team, the Green Bay Packers, when Cajuste seemed to hit an all-time low. He was struggling to get the hang of the size and speed of the NFL. Desperately searching for a way to improve his mindset, three concurrent events changed his outlook on life.
