MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — Former NFL player Jon Runyan says he's considering running for Congress.
In a statement issued Wednesday by the Burlington County Republican Committee, Runyan says he believes the country is being taken in the wrong direction by career politicians.
Runyan, an offensive lineman, played 13 seasons in the NFL, the last nine with the Philadelphia Eagles. The 36-year-old is out of football this season, though he's talked to the Eagles and other teams about coming back.
If he runs for Congress, it would be in New Jersey's 3rd District, which stretches from the Philadelphia suburbs to central New Jersey's beach towns.

I don’t know, NJ, is he corrupt enough?
He played for the Iggles. Of course he is!.........................Go Cowboys!...............
What will happen if elected is that he will punch the members of the other party when no one is looking.
He’s a dirty player.
This district was called for the Republican in 2008 and then by morning, the dem had won by a couple of hundred votes. I don’t know if there was corruption, just that it was a very close election. It’s a winnable district and Runyan is very popular in South Jersey.
I don’t think so, but he is an Eagles pro-bowl lineman....which goes a long way in South Jersey. Oh yeah, he’s conservative too :)
Being a Cowboys fan, I couldn’t stand John Runyan. But if he is a conservative then I am behind him 100 percent!
