The Second Lives of NFL Players

Ever think of the NFL Football stars you watched as a kid and wonder what they are doing now? Well I do too, so I researched a few to see what is going on with them. Some of the reports of players may be outdated. But I did try to get as much current info as I could find on them. So here is a list of some former NFL players and where they are now.
