First, can you tell readers about your work with KMG Sports Management – what your role there is and how you got started there?
I got started three months after I retired – really two years after I was done playing. My capacity right now is as a consultant but I’m getting out of that part of it. It’s a lot of babysitting. It’s hard to say, but that’s what it is.
I like the mentoring of the players. Some of the guys, well, it’s just getting harder. The trust factor between agents and players isn’t what it used to be when I played. Your word was your bond then but it’s changed. Now, everyone is out to top everyone and promise more and more. Guys forget what it takes to get there and now each just uses the other.
I will be focusing more on helping with recruiting and position training for offensive linemen. That gives me more free time to explore getting into sales. People think I’m crazy but I’d like to get into sales – I enjoy talking with people.
