Gridiron greats who built firms, funds and franchises.
10 profiles, published in one list. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.
Ten profiles of football greats who built firms, funds and franchises after the final whistle — careers measured in decades, not seasons.
The list features Steve Young, Roger Staubach, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. Each profile covers the second career in full: what was founded, what was bought, and what it became.
Football careers are short, and the money, unmanaged, is shorter. These ten are the counter-example — players who treated the game as the beginning of a business life, documented here with sources under every profile.
