Jake Locker was a 3-sport star athlete in high school (he was drafted to play Major League Baseball, but turned down the offer because he preferred playing football).  He was hailed as a hero when he played quarterback for the University of Washington.  He was picked by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the NFL draft.  Four years later, he chose to leave the league... and lots of people had questions.  In this episode of "What It's Like To..." we get the full story of what shaped Jake as a boy and as a young man, and what ultimately led him to make big decisions with certainty.  It's a story of football, fame, family and faith, and how one man found the right balance for his life.In this episode:Jake's early influences and childhood
