Marshall McFadden has made an unlikely career pivot following his retirement from football.

The former NFL linebacker now works as a NASCAR jackman, having made quite a surprising transition by joining Ross Chastain’s pit crew in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Marshall, who signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a college career at South Carolina State, also spent time with the then-Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams. He last played for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL in 2016.
