With the NFL season now over, players finally have time to focus on their passions and side projects, which can be anything from an externship on Capital Hill to angel investing in startups. Some of these activities are facilitated through the NFL Player’s Association, which actually runs a tech accelerator designed to trade player licensing rights for equity.
The accelerator is called One Team Collective, and is run by an executive board made up of leaders from the tech industry as well as a player advisory board with 9 current and former NFL players.
