He set every major passing record in his career, finishing 938-for-1,405 for 9,990 yards and 71 touchdowns. He set the single-game touchdown record with an eight-TD performance against UT Martin as a senior, just one season after he became just the fifth player in FCS history to pass for 600 yards in a game. Derrick Cullors rushed for a school-record 1,765 yards and 17 touchdowns in his All-America season of 1995. He eclipsed the 100-yard mark in nine of the 12 games, including rushing for over 200 yards against Western Illinois (253), Southeast Missouri (252) and Austin Peay (202). For his efforts, Cullors finished third in the voting for the Walter Payton Award. Nathan Williams was a First-Team All-America selection in 2008 after he led the FCS by averaging 14.9 tackles per game. His 179 tackles established a new school record, while his 396 career tackles rank fourth all-time. Williams became the first finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award since 1996, finishing fifth in the voting. 4 Retired

    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.
