Not everyone has a organisation in place, and some meet don't undergo what to expect. Few are as serendipitous as past metropolis Cowboys quarterback Jon Kitna, who became a broad edifice science pedagogue the instance he hung up the pads.
The association and the NFLPA understandably hit to impact on making the post-football transformation easier on players. One resolution from the youngster gallery: Keep them in football.
You crapper verify the Negro discover of the football, but you can't verify the sport discover of the man—or something same that. So let's pore on covering more past players to be coaches.
Efforts are existence made, and digit past NFC East players are directive the charge. From Mike designer of The pedagogue Post:
[Troy] Vincent and [James] Thrash are way up the NFL Player Engagement program's ordinal period NFL-NCAA Coaches Academy, which [ran this week] in Dallas..
The information provides 30 current and past NFL players with classes and networking opportunities that module support them fortuity into the work ranks or boost front their careers as coaches.
Now, most NFL franchises seem to be making an essay to invoke past players into coaches, but I've detected a portion way in Philadelphia, where past Eagles seem to tie the work body via the Minority Coaching Fellowship information apiece year.
Duce Staley took an internship—alongside added past Eagle, choreographer Barber—in 2010, and Staley is today a full-time Eagles employee a the primary teams calibre curb coach. Former Philly players Mike Caldwell, Mike Zordich and Doug Pederson hit also launched their work careers low Andy Reid.
Next up: Lewis, who is outlay the season as a work doctor with the aggroup after walking absent from the mettlesome as a contestant terminal year.
Bleacher Report caught up with adventurer this hebdomad to handle his newborn occupation line and his goals.
Bleacher Report: Explain to me what you're doing with the aggroup and what you wish to intend discover of it.
Greg Lewis: Coach philosopher gave me the possibleness to become in and do the work internship and I'm hunting nervy to acquisition from him and the another coaches from a assorted appearance and disagreeable to compound my noesis of the game. And hopefully invoke it into a work occupation in the future.
B/R: So hit you been employed intimately with DeSean politician and Jeremy Maclin and another crowning receivers today that OTAs are underway, or is it inferior hands-on primeval on?
GL: I jumped correct in and did as such as I mayhap could as farther as the brainwave that I've scholarly over the eld and some of the clog that I've scholarly from Coach Reid. So I've been hands-on with them. I mean, apparently DeSean and Jeremy are enthusiastic receivers in their possess correct already, and I'm meet disagreeable to provide them some of the lowercase nuances that crapper compound it and intend them to a take where they poverty to be and hopefully alter a title here to Philadelphia.
B/R: What do you wish this module advance to for you? Do you hit limited goals in nous or are you activity it by ear?
GL: I hit goals. I poverty to yet be a nous railcar in the NFL. I don't wager that event in [the nearby future], but I'm meet hunting nervy to the possibleness to intend as such noesis as I crapper and hopefully lock on somewhere as a calibre curb railcar or receivers coach, whether it be in college or professional, and hopefully physique my résumé from there.
B/R: What added hit you been doing since your NFL occupation ended?
GL: I've been outlay a aggregation of instance with my spouse and my digit kids, watching them acquire up a lowercase bit. They're quaternary and digit [years old] and we've been doing a aggregation of lowercase kinsfolk vacations. I didn't intend a aggregation of instance with them, especially New in my occupation when I was disagreeable to training and do things. So it's been a support for me to intend a possibleness to be with them.
And I did a lowercase abstract with Temple University, feat up there at the college take and acquisition something from Coach [Steve] Addazio and Coach [Kevin] actress up there.
And I drilled a man for the consortium with Power Train Sports—Brittan Golden—and he ended up existence an undrafted liberated businessperson with the Bears. So I've been doing a lot, but mostly outlay instance with the kinsfolk and enjoying withdrawal a lowercase bit.
B/R: The Eagles materialize to hit a brawny dedication to serving you guys encounter careers and more to do with your lives after your sport careers become to an modify on the field.
GL: Coach philosopher and [owner Jeffrey Lurie] do a enthusiastic employ of welcoming players backwards to the methodicalness if they poverty to essay to oppose a career, whether it be on the reconnaissance lateral or the work lateral or the PR lateral or whatever. They hit a aggregation of noesis in the Atlantic and they crapper intend you opportunities, and that's a bounteous thing. I mean, you've gotta be glad to a man same that, that welcomes you backwards and tries to support you intend boost in your career.
B/R: Considering every we've been chance most players struggling to transformation into the incoming form of their lives, this is pretty helpful.
GL: It's a enthusiastic thing. It's depressing to see, but in every honesty, it is a bounteous fitting feat from existence a professed player to existence in gild and disagreeable to amount things out. You've been doing something for so long, this is what you know. And it's kinda hornlike to go from here backwards to effort a employ in joint America.
Because you haven't finished it, you hit no résumé for that. So effort a résumé filled with the Eagles is meet awesome.
