NFL alumni group updates its playbook to address money game

Star cornerback Richard Sherman is one of football’s most outspoken leaders. He is now part of an initiative with the NFL Alumni Association that stresses financial literacy. He wants players to be ready for the time when they’re no longer in uniform and perhaps in another line of work. He wants to combat financial mismanagement through free educational resources. The initiative allows players to investigate such workforce areas as leadership, sales, customer service, diversity. Beasley Reece played nine seasons in the league and now is the NFL Alumni’s CEO. He says these tools are important because “players need access to innovative technology that supports the great work they’re doing through their businesses.”
