Yes and no. Yes, I would love to work for the NFLPA or NFL, or become an agent. But unfortunately, there are so many people who want to do the same thing. Unless I run across $5,000,000 and can buy myself access, I don't think there's a realistic way into the process. But, trust me, I'm investigating it.
For now, it looks like I'll be working in either the commercial real estate or litigation division of the firm I will be working for. The firm is massive (1,200+ attorneys), but unfortunately it's reach doesn't extend into the NFL. I'd have to work there for multiple years, gain experience as a litigator (the NFLPA and NFL aren't willing to train newbies like big firms are), and then try to finagle my way in. At least, that's the way Tagliabue did it.
