Eric Crouch went from proffesional football to a Big time Businessman!!!!!!

According to http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Finding-Eric-Crouch-Heisman-hero-pro-washout-?urn=ncaaf-266171, Eric Crouch former Nebraska football player before playing for the New England patriots. Crouch was originally drafted by the Rams were they converted Crouch to play wide receiver. Only in the second preseason game for the Patriots Crouch injured his knee that forced Crouch to announce his retirement from football. Months later Crouch decided to unretire himself where he played for a few other NFL teams then going on to play in Europe were injuries played a big part in that part of his career. Still to this day teams in the Arena Football League still want him to play today. Crouch has rejected all of the offers. In 2003 Crouch took over a business from a Nebraska family that he goes around building playgrounds in Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa.




Not too bad for a Heisman trophy winner that people thought was only a jock! After reading on I thought to myself Eric Crouch isn’t doing to bad for himself he turned out to be a good guy after his professional football career there is more to him than just football.

Most athletes that play in the pro’s don’t go on to be a businessman well at least not like Crouch building playgrounds. After 8 major injuries Crouch had from playing football this is a surprise to many people out there.

But to me this is normal for an athlete to be successful after sports .this just goes to prove that we are not all only jocks. I think that that Crouch is living a pretty successful life so far do you? Crouch was a top of the line athlete in college and in his first couple of years in the NFL. If it wasn’t for injuries Crouch most likely would still be playing today. But is it such a bad thing he got injured? I don’t think so he went on to be a very successful man in life.
