The thought of retirement isn't one that's on Denzel Diaz's mind at the moment, but he knows it will come eventually, quick and sudden, father time pulling the rug out from under you, no matter how fast of a runningback you are, Father Time will catch you. This was a well known fact to Denzel, which is why he did graduate University of Southern California with a degree in teaching and a minor in writing. Denzel has always had a certain interest in teaching, not children, but young people of the world and the obvious struggles that will face them. He also has a certain affinity for writing, weaving words to create stories, and inform. So perhaps this is where Denzel Diaz's path will lead once the drean of playing football professionally is over, once the shoulder pads are off, his knees aching from abuse, shoulders torn to shreds from the years of collisions. Maybe he will find solace in a classroom, or at his desk, scribbling away at a new novel he's working on.
