Golf has always been a great way for athletes to relax and unwind. It requires a different type of focus and concentration than other sports. But the NFL star wants to be a pro at it too; golf is no hobby for the young star. Joe, being his introspective self, revealed that he has not been taking up golf because if he is poor at it, he is going to go all in on the sport until he grasps a hold of it.
