45 Of The Best Football Players On Wall Street

AP ImagesFormer NFL player Brandon Short left Goldman Sachs to launch his own hedge fund.

The Super Bowl is this weekend so we thought we'd highlight some of the biggest football players on Wall Street.

Anyone who plays football professionally knows that they won't be able to play forever. That means they need to have post-football career plans in mind.

For some, finance is the perfect fit. It's cut-throat, super competitive and it takes a lot of discipline to put in all those long hours.

So it should come as no surprise that there are a bunch of former football stars working in trading, investment banking and wealth management.

We've compiled a list of some of the best football players in finance. (Note: These names are not in any particular order).

Many of these guys played professionally before heading to Wall Street. Others were standouts in college. Some have even done internships at investment banks during the off-season while still playing in the NFL. One even has a Super Bowl ring!
