A former NFL player and supporter of President-elect Trump announced on Thursday plans to run for the Republican nomination in California’s gubernatorial race when Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown leaves office at the end of 2018.

Rosey Grier, who played for the Los Angeles Rams, is 84 years old, but said he will be running in next year’s election because he wants to serve Golden State residents.
