Sack machine, OT baller and awesome dude.
quote:


Investment-firm owner. Financial trader. Hair salon owner.

“Entrepreneur,” a smiling Neal said Wednesday from inside Hair Factory.

Add community servant to the list of Neal’s titles. He and Joan Campbell, his co-owner at the shop, opened Hair Factory to free haircuts for all military and first responders, including law enforcement officers and firefighters. Their families were welcome, too.

You have to think as a senior, this guy is a major influence on younger players. That can't help but be a good thing going forward

He will really be flush when he can put some of his future NFL cash into his entrepreneurial ideas. Really forward-thinking gesture on his part to support the good guys. Miles has a team full of high-character gents/savages.

How is he going to run that salon when he's shipped across the country to play NFL football and the previous owner moves to Canada next year? And it's a cash business. I hope he has someone he can totally trust to manage it.

He's probably making so much on tips, too. This is incredible.

I was so proud reading this article last night. Seems to be a pretty successful trader as an individual and now he'll probably run another successful business as well.

However, I was thinking that some people somewhere could probably use this to funnel money towards a player. I mean how many college football players own business where boosters can legally funnel money towards them?

I wish I had the drive and passion he has. To reach the pinnacle of his chosen sport and still have time for productive extra-curricular activities like finance and business is pretty incredible. The gesture that is the focus of the thread only adds to his dynamic of being an exceptional human being on top of it all.

Whatever happens on the field, Neal has already succeeded in life.

Almost time for shaving skulls during the week and busting them on the weekend.

His life is on an awesome trajectory whether he makes it in football or not.

I'm curious to know what his background is. Does he come from a successful family? I know he is from NC, so he's not a product of our crappy LA public school system, but did he go to a good school in NC?

Is he from the hood or is he from high society over there?

In any event, seems like a great guy and I'm glad he's one of ours.

Hair Factory is great, never met Neal and had no idea he was involved in it, but Joan is super friendly and they're Netflix and Cut setup is on point. It's the only place I'll pay for a haircut.
