"I spent my whole career building relationships with people in the business world to make sure I would transition out of the NFL with ease. The one thing I forgot was how powerful all of my relationships with guys I played with could be. ProPlayer Connect allowed me to reach out to guys I played with over 12 years and use their knowledge and experience to better form my business plan and services that I offer. Let’s face it, as current and active athletes, we need to watch out for each other in building second careers…this site allows that to happen."
"I never know what businesses are "for real". With the pre-screening on ProPlayerConnect, I know I can trust and rely on all the business there. ProPlayerConnect saves me time and money."
"Pro Player Connect does all the work for you. They make negotiating easy!"
