Pretty cool to see he's thinking about a life outside football and trying to build experience for it

His goal is to open his own sports merchandise store. "I just need to get retail knowledge," Elam told the team's website. "That's basically what I'm doing. I'm getting that knowledge for when it's time." Elam applied online to five stores before being hired at Finish Line a month ago, raising eyebrows considering he made $3.7 million last season (salary and signing bonus) as the 32nd pick in the draft.

Good for him.
Cue the "he's taking a job away from someone who really needs it" crowd shortly.

after taxes and shite, that's less than $2 million. sure, that's just one season. but most players are lucky to play into their 30s, so even if he makes around $15 mil in his career, he has to live the rest of his life off that. good on him for thinking about the rest of his life.

Good for him. John Elway took a similar path early in his career and sold cars to learn the business.

Good for him. Wasn't he the player who forgo-ed hiring an agent and negotiated his own rookie contract?

Good for Elam
