I am both humbled and excited to pursue the holy call that God has for my life which brings me much joy and purpose.”It was reported in his first few seasons, Khari Wills was earning about $3 million and was set to a huge high-income worth about $2.54 million as a base salary.He added, “My faith to me is a personal journey.

But it’s something that if I stick to, I notice that I’ll become better and better and better at whatever it is I’m doing,” Willis told reporters.“Faith to me is important. Believing in something you can’t see, especially in this dark world, something that you can’t always see with your eyes and especially when you may not always want to believe or want to do the right thing.”“Sometimes, doing the right thing is the hard thing to do. But I feel like my faith is something that kind of keeps me grounded and keeps me honed in on who I am.”In his retirement announcement, Khari Willis thanked the Colts for giving him a chance to pursue his earthly dream. “I’ve built lifelong relationships with numerous teammates, coaches and support staff that have impacted me greatly,” he added. “The lessons that I’ve learned in this phase of my life will be valuable for me in my next chapter.”ALSO READ RCCG Restores Library for Sogunle Primary School
