Former NFL tight end Kellen Winslow II is tackling the sale of his Austin, TX, home for $2.15 million.

The 34-year-old had moved to the hilltop retreat in 2014 for a “fresh start in a fresh city,” according to AskMen. The former pass catcher hadn’t been active in the NFL since 2013, and was heading for the hills.

The hilly city appealed to the avid cyclist, as he was training to become the first pro football player to turn pro cyclist, according to the profile. Winslow said he had dropped from 245 pounds to 215, and was “in the best shape of my life.”

If you need to do a downward dog or tree pose, there’s even a yoga room. A country club membership also comes with the property.

The San Diego–born athlete is the son of legendary San Diego Charger Kellen Winslow, a football Hall of Famer. The younger Winslow played college ball at the University of Miami, where he earned All-American honors. He started his pro career with the Cleveland Browns in 2004 after being drafted in the first round.

Injuries and off-field issues prevented him from attaining true NFL stardom. After four seasons in Cleveland, Winslow also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots, and New York Jets. He finished his career with 469 receptions and 25 touchdowns.
