It’s certainly not uncommon for NFL players to earn money outside of football, and Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack is one of many who is doing just that early in his career. He recently got into the candle making business and it’s been quite the hit amongst Jags fans and many others. His teammates Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Fournette have also taken note to his business as both have taken to social media multiple times to jokingly give the fourth-year linebacker grief about his side hustle.
That was once again the case Thursday as both players roasted Jack, again. Ramsey told Fournette that Jack is so criminally underpaid (set to make $1.37 million in base salary cash) that he’s turned to selling candles, and the Jags need to give him a contract extension as a result.

All jokes aside, Fournette and Ramsey spoke highly of Jack’s candles prior. His other teammates also have been supportive of the young entrepreneur’s products as he posted a video on Instagram of the locker room snagging up a supply he brought to the team’s facility.
For those interested, Jack’s candles can be bought at MylesMadeCandles.com for just $20 and he also has a limited supply of glass candles (lavender scent) for $30.
