I'm reminded of an old 1940s football card that's somewhere in my closet. I don't remember the guy's name since he wasn't a Hall of Famer. On the back of the card, it says something like, "XXX is a car salesman in the offseason".

I think NFL players held offseason jobs all the way up into the 1960s. It would be interesting to see Derrick Nnadi bagging groceries, or Creed running a tow truck. I bet Mahomes' summer job would have been throwing bricks up from the ground to the guys on upper floors building skyscrapers.

Now that I think about it, I'm suddenly wondering why we didn't have two-sport guys back in the 1940s or 1950s. I'm sure some of them could have done it, playing baseball in the summer and then transitioning to football in the fall.
