It was back in the day when NFL players needed an offseaseon job just to pay the mortgage. A lot of guys worked construction or building trades or whatever, like sheet metal work or lumberyard work, etc. But those who had good people skills often did well in sales job - insurance, car sales, public relations, things like that.  Jim Ringo worked construction, I think I remembe that Jerry Kramer was an aritst with sheet metal work, Forrest Gregg worked in a lumberyard... they all needed a side gig.Articulate, well-spoken players with good people skills often worked in sales or PR. Sales-oriented companies knew it was good business to have a Green Bay Packer facing to the clients. Everybody wanted to say they bought their new car or their home insurance policy from one of the guys who beat the Giants in the NFL championship a few months ago.</blockquote>
