So what happens to the players when their daily life in the NFL halts and their lives go 100 to 0? "Life After" follows this difficult transition. Some players pursue interests that got pushed to the side for football, some take skills they learned on the field and monetize them off of the field, and some surprise themselves with a passion they didn't know existed.
