Raven's 2013 1st rounder now working at sports store ?
I guess you could commend him on his work ethic and definitely a wise choice for keeping his nose clean, but couldn't one find a more productive outlet for your time?

He's got some investment capital in the bank. It just seems like he could be using that time in securing some business ventures to set himself up for having some income after his playing days are over?

I guess he views his job as an internship / experience, but there's plenty of ways to get training on running a retail store (since that's what he eventually plans on doing), and the management and finance side is a lot more valuable.

Also, kinda amusing a professional football player had to apply to 5 different places hiring to get a job at a sports store...

Matt Elam working sales at mall
Jamison Hensley

February 27, 2014


Many NFL players will go to malls this offseason. Matt Elam is working in one.

Elam, a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2013 draft, is spending his offseason as a part-time sales associate at a Finish Line store in Gainesville, Fla., before he returns to the team in April. He says he works about 20 hours per week, helping customers with shoes and occasionally stocking shelves.

His goal is to open his own sports merchandise store.

"I just need to get retail knowledge," Elam told the team's website. "That's basically what I'm doing. I'm getting that knowledge for when it's time."
Elam applied online to five stores before being hired at Finish Line a month ago, raising eyebrows considering he made $3.7 million last season (salary and signing bonus) as the 32nd pick in the draft.

"Everybody was surprised when I started," said Elam, who isn't sure how much he makes per hour. "They were like, 'Why? You got enough money.' But it's not about the money. It's just me building."

The mall is a few miles from the University of Florida, where Elam was a first-team All-American. Fans often recognize him at the store and ask to take pictures, which have circulated on social media.

"People will be buying stuff just for me to sign it," he said. "It's pretty exciting."

As a rookie, Elam was fourth on the Ravens with 76 tackles. He had one interception and two fumble recoveries.

Understood... On that same note, it's also why you're only taken seriously 10% of the time.

10% is incredibly generous.

You know what's sad?

The Ravens made a better pick at 32 than KC did at 1.

Isn't investing in half assed business ventures one of the things often cited for pro athletes going broke?
