Former pro footballer player Jason Brown used to be a center for the St. Louis Rams. But a calling from God made him walk away from the NFL (and his $37 million contract!) to become a farmer — even though he'd never farmed a day a in his life.
Brown, who learned how to farm via YouTube, moved to a 1,000 acre farm in North Carolina and is now on a mission to help fight hunger in the region. He recently donated his first harvest of sweet potatoes — a whopping 100,000 pounds of food — to local food pantries in the region. And Brown says he's never felt more successful.
"Not in man's standards, but in God's eyes," Brown told CBS News. "Love is the most wonderful currency that you can give anyone."
