From football to fireman
Sure! Here's a rewritten version of the content:

CBS Sports recently shared an article about an NFL player who's decided to call it quits and transition into the Chicago Fire Department Academy. It's quite the change for safety Tom Zbikowski, whose journey in the NFL has come to an end after five inconsistent seasons.
Things didn't exactly wrap up on a high note for Zbikowski, who was unexpectedly released by the Bears earlier this August. Since then, he's chosen to step away from football and pursue his dream of becoming a Chicago firefighter. Zbikowski, who initially shone at Notre Dame, opened up to the Chicago Tribune's David Haugh about how his passion for the sport began to wane over time.
"Truthfully? Not really," he admitted. "It hasn’t been there for a while. Football just started feeling stale to me. … Those first couple of years in the NFL were incredible—they were tough, but they were rewarding. You’re playing with the best of the best. But eventually, it stopped mattering if we won or lost since I still got paid either way. I found myself enjoying high school and college football far more."
Zbikowski spent the majority of his NFL career in Baltimore, joining the Colts in 2012. However, his stint with the Colts turned out to be the least fulfilling phase of his professional life. During that period, Zbikowski turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, even indulging in heavy drinking before games.
"I'm the kind of guy who could knock back six beers and then hit the ring for ten rounds of sparring without skipping a beat," Zbikowski joked, referencing his boxing career. "By the end of it all, I’d say at least 12 of my 64 NFL games were played under the influence. Get a bit tipsy, bring a girl back to the room—feel unstoppable. Some of my best performances came after nights of serious partying, though some of my worst did too. Weirdly enough, my two best seasons were 2005 at Notre Dame and 2009 in Baltimore, both years when I was absolutely out of control with the drinking."
The excessive drinking caught up with him physically, causing him to gain weight. In an effort to shed the extra pounds, he resorted to taking a "water pill," unbeknownst to him, a substance prohibited by the NFL. As a result, he was suspended for four games, a decision that may have influenced the Bears' choice to move on.
Now clean and sober, Zbikowski insists he no longer relies on alcohol or painkillers. He's set to join the Chicago Fire Department Academy next month. "I've been incredibly fortunate in life and managed to save three-quarters of my earnings, so I can do pretty much anything I want now. And what I want to do is give back to the community," he explained. Interestingly, firefighting runs in his family—he'd be the third generation in his family to serve as a firefighter. "Firefighters walk into chaos every day. They represent courage, trust, and everything that's good about society. I’ve always liked living on the edge."
Thanks, Dan!
