Despite earning $390,000 during his first season as an NFL player with the St. Louis Rams, running back Terrance Ganaway has a part-time job. He works at a Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich shop in Waco, Texas, earning $7.50 per hour, 3 days a week.
A tweet that Ganaway had sent out say that he was bored and looking for someway to fill his time until returning to training with the Rams was seen by the Jimmy John's manager who offered him a job.
Ok everyone wants to know why I am working at Jimmy John's...well I am going to answer that.

3 reasons: 1. I have too much free time. 2. Tell my kids I worked two jobs to put them through school. 3. Cause the pay is really good.

NFL is still number one on his list of priorities though
My number one job is being an NFL player," Ganaway said. "So don't get it confused as to me working at Jimmy John's has me lazy. I know what I have to do. I know how to get in shape and I know what it takes to perform at a high level. Really, Jimmy John's is just to keep me out of trouble in all the down time we have in the offseason.
