From NFL to MBA

By Alexis Glick

In this morning’s edition of the “Playing the Game” segment we do on Money for Breakfast, I interviewed Eddie George, former NFL running back, Heisman Trophy winner and four-time pro bowler.

All I can say is WOW!!! This is one impressive guy! He was dressed beautifully, so down-to-earth, approachable and charming. His transformation from the football field to the business world is one of the best examples that I’ve seen in the NFL. He received a landscape architecture degree from Ohio State and built a landscape architecture business called The Edge Group. He is a restaurant owner, reality TV star, co-host of The Best Damn Sports Show and the FOX Sports pregame show with Jason Sehorn, Tim Brown and Jay Glazer. My dream job!!! :) Oh and in his spare time, he’s getting his MBA at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago. Talk about a role model!
