  • Active Statistical Leaders Heading Into 2001
    “REAL” JOBS Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback TOMMY MADDOX once pitched insurance policies before he got a job throwing footballs. JOSE CORTEZ of the Kansas City Chiefs, the only NFL player in history born in El Salvador, was once a roofer. And everybody knows that 2001 NFL MVP KURT WARNER once stocked groceries. Indeed, a surprising number of NFL players had “real” jobs before they came into the league. “Football is a blue-collar man’s game,” says former Washington Redskins cornerback DARRELL GREEN. And maybe that’s why the league is filled with so many former “blue-collar” workers. Following is a list of “real jobs” previously held by some NFL players: PLAYER, TEAM CAREER(S) David Akers, Philadelphia Substitute teacher; waiter James Allen, Houston Worked at Houston recording studio Mitch Berger, St. Louis Pumped gas in Canada Jose Cortez, Kansas City Roofer Mark Dixon, Miami Golf course lawn maintenance Jay Feely, Atlanta Financial consultant Ray Jackson, Cincinnati Wal-Mart sporting goods employee Michael Lewis, New Orleans Budweiser truck driver Tommy Maddox, Pittsburgh Insurance salesman Fred McCrary, New England Corrections officer David Patten, New England Landscaper, electrician, truck loader Nathan Poole, Arizona Youth counselor Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis Electrical supply company Al Wallace, Carolina Public school assistant principal Kurt Warner, St. Louis Stocked groceries OTHER JOBS Football takes up a lot of their time, but that has not prevented a good number of NFL players from preparing for life after the game by jumping into some other lines of work even as they “moonlight” on the football field. For example, Philadelphia Eages cornerback TROY VINCENT – the 2002 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year – is a full-fledged offseason entrepreneur.

  • DON SHULA All-Time Winner
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 2 (1997) DON SHULA All-Time Winner By Joe Horrigan In 1951, a rookie defensive back trying to earn a spot on the Cleveland Browns' training camp roster, caught the watchful eye of Head Coach Paul Brown. "Nice tackle Taseff!" barked the coach after witnessing the young defensive back's hard hit on fullback Marion Motley. The confident rookie-hopeful swiftly rose from the pile turned to his coach and announced, "The name is Shula. Shula," he repeated, "S-H-U-L-A!" Brown, undoubtedly stunned by the bold rookie's response, sarcastically replied, "I'll try to remember." No one that day could have possibly imagined that that confident rookie would eventually become the winningest coach in National Football League history and in the process make "Shula" a name that no one would ever forget. His 347-173-6 record as head coach of the Miami Dolphins (1970-95) and before that the Baltimore Colts (1963-69) stands as the standard by which every past, present, and future NFL coach will be measured. Donald Francis Shula was born January 4, 1930, in Grand River, Ohio and was raised in Painesville, Ohio. Don was the youngest of three children when his mother, Mary, gave birth to triplets. "My dad was making $15 a week in a nursery so he had to find a befter paying job," recalled Shula. "He went on to work in the fisheries by the lake and as soon as I was big enough, I followed him there." Don's father, Dan, was by most accounts a quiet, hard-working man.
