NFL Players Who Transitioned to Successful Careers After Football

Often described as being a “cutthroat” industry, the NFL is especially known for having an ominous environment, as there is an inherent uncertainty with the constant roster turnover and a perceived distrust between players and organizations. Although harsh at times, it is understandable as there is an unmitigated competitiveness and drive for excellence across all 32 teams. The NFL lifestyle is notoriously demanding, rigid, and in many ways is completely sequestered from reality.
