I don't like the 'they make millions' argument either. These guys make the bulk of their lifetime income in a short time span. After the NFL, aside from the few who can transition into something like broadcasting, film, coaching, or business, how many of them will be able to find a steady income. Are they really going to be able to get normal desk jobs? Playing football is the only thing a lot of these guys know, and they leave the game with their bodies ravaged. It's not easy to transition into a normal work environment. That's why so many of them do appearances and signings.
