Samardzija was an All-American wide receiver at Notre Dame. "No, not even close," said Samardzija told the Chicago Sun-Times "I'm not like that. I feel like I made a decision, I made the right decision, and on top of that I'm not going back on my word." He promised publicly when he signed his $10 million Cubs deal to give back the money if he bailed on baseball for the NFL. "I committed my time and I chose my profession, what I wanted to do," Samardzija said. "And by no means is that a stuck-with kind of an answer. It's what I want to do. And I know I can be successful at it. And it's just about putting in time." |
The NFL season will kickoff on Thursday, but Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija doesn't miss the game.
