"I had to take charge of me. Extra weight was great when playing ball, but all that extra weight turns into big health problems. I took advantage of the NFLA Wellness Challange and it was a God send. I needed accountability so I don’t relapse. I love cooking, eating and drinking, but I lost over 65 lbs. and it keeps coming off."

“My involvement with NFL Alumni has helped increase my knowledge of the needs of Legends in a large market, while equally trying to serve the men who contribute to the history of the NFL. It’s great to see the different generations of Alumni who believe in the mission”

“I’ve been a member of NFLA since membership was opened to former NFL cheerleaders in 2000.  It’s always a pleasure working together with former players and other former cheerleaders towards our common goal of supporting children’s charities. This is a great way for the NFL alumni family to continue to give back while making lasting friendships as we strive to help those in need!”

"What I enjoy about being a NFL Alumni Member is being involved in the community, providing resources to underprivileged children. Communicating to our guys on a monthly basis is refreshing."

“Retired players need to realize how much help we need from the outside world to educate us. We have to learn now that if we are a business that we need to set ourselves up in a likely manner and that we are respected individuals moving forward."

“It means a lot to work along with Beasley Reece and the rest of the NFL Alumni. The reason we connected with the NFL Alumni is because this organization does so much to help out kids, including their involvement with the children’s hospital.”

“It is an amazing feeling to raise money for a good cause along with the NFL Alumni. We are a brotherhood, and we always do our best to support one another.”

“As a retired player I am now active with several different businesses. I have become more involved over the years by saying yes to all the opportunities I have been given.”

“After you’re done as a player there are a lot of adjustments that you need to make, and the NFL Alumni is there to help.”
