Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis appeared on ESPNews today and talked about his off-season activity of studying at Harvard:
"It's a great experience and a good networking tool," Lewis said, adding that NFL players including Ty Law and Sammy Knight joined him at Harvard Business School in classes this off-season.
Oscar De La Hoya is the best businessman in American sports, but one of the approximately 120 NFL players who spend their off-seasons taking business courses could some day rival De La Hoya for that title. Lewis, who owns his own trucking business, sounds serious about planning for his post-NFL life, and he could end up making more money in business than he has in football.
Three years ago, Lewis spent his off-season in federal prison on drug charges. Now he's spending his off-season at Harvard. Lewis is a guy who has put his mistakes behind him and has his life going in the right direction.
