This is what happens when you blow through all your NFL money and suck on the football field [all at the same time] or you need to apply at a restaurant to stay afloat.Former Detroit Lions player Justin Durant took to his Twitter to post a picture of an application he filled out at a Chick-Fil-A in Detroit.Durant had to apply for the job at the restaurant as he's waiting [hoping] on word from the Lions on whether they'll re-sign him or officially cut him from the team. Durant is so desperate for a REAL JOB that he's already leaked out his resume he sent to Chick-Fil-A [below].He even went to tweet later in the day about picking up a McDonald's application. Guess it's really tough times in Detriot... even for a football player.Nah Rally's RT @chardysports: @jdurant52 Picking up the application from McDonald's next?— Justin Durant (@JDurant52) March 14, 2013 Rough outchea bruh twitpic.com/cbatys— Justin Durant (@JDurant52) March 14, 2013
