A former NFL player may just have plans for his next career move: Congress.

Feely is "laying the groundwork" to begin a run for the state's 5th Congressional District, according to the Arizona Republic. Current Rep. Andy Biggs is running for governor next year, and his seat will be vacated.

Roughly 45% of the active voters in the district are Republican - 20% are Democrats.

Feely would hardly be the first former athlete to try his hand in Congress. Tommy Tuberville and Herschel Walker have both done the same.
