The veteran running back Jay Ajayi, who last played with Philadelphia Eagles, is changing sports. While waiting for a job in NFL, Ajayi decided to join the Philadelphia Union’s MLS e-sports team.

Union announced on Tuesday that they had signed Ajayi to represent the team as a professional FIFA player. 

“Philadelphia will always hold a special place in my heart,” said Ajayi in a statement. “I am blessed to be able to represent the city through e-sports and to be one of the first pro athletes to become a professional gamer. Representing the Philadelphia Union for eMLS combines two of my greatest passions outside of football, soccer, and gaming. I’m a competitor, so you’re going to see me give my all for the Union at every eMLS event this year.”

Jay Ajayi started his career with Miami Dolphins in 2015. After two and a half years in Miami, which included a Pro Bowl appearance in 2016, Ajayi was traded to the Eagles midway through the 2017 season. He ended up helping Philly win the Super Bowl in the same season.

Ajayi opened the 2018 season as Eagles starting RB but ended up suffering a season-ending ACL injury in Week 5. Philadelphia re-signed him on 15th November, but the 26-year-old managed to play only three games before being released.

Philadelphia Eagles will be bringing back a familiar face in order to boost their running back core. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Eagles have signed Ajayi on Friday after spending the last few days negotiating with the veteran free agent.

Ajayi was a member of the Eagles team that won a Super Bowl in the 2017 NFL season. He hasn’t been on the field since Week 5 of 2018 when he tore his ACL.

Eagles were forced to add another RB to their roster after Darren Sproles recently suffered a season-ending injury. The team might also be without Jordan Howard in the next few games as the 25-year-old is still not cleared for contact after dealing with a stinger for the past week. 

Jay Ajayi entered the league as the fifth-round pick in 2015 and spent the first two and a half years of his NFL career with Miami Dolphins. He was traded to Philadelphia Eagles midway through the 2017 season and ended up making a big contribution to the team’s Super Bowl run. Ajayi rushed for 408 yards and one touchdown in the regular season while adding 184 yards in the postseason.

 Ajayi’s career stats include 2,516 rushing yards and 13 rushing TDs, alongside 63 receptions for 419 yards and one touchdown.
