Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, other NFL stars reveal their alternative career choices

What if names like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes never made it as football players. What would they be doing? The two MVP quarterback along with other NFL stars reveal their second career choices — some serious, and some not.

Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs as the two examples have made enough money they can do whatever they want after football. Allen’s family owns a large pistachio farm in California that generates a good income that he could always work on, too. Mahomes is now in the restaurant business opening 1587 Prime Steakhouse in Kansas City with teammate Travis Kelce that looks amazing. Maybe he opens more?

They’re two of the most recognizable faces in the league who are in their primes and have a lot more football left. But what if they never made it? Mahomes says he would’ve gone the legal route, while Allen would’ve been a nature boy — not Ric Flair — as a bird watcher. Hear their answers and other players’ on their alternative career choices.

Obviously, some answers like Keon Coleman’s “professional swimmer” are just meant to be funny. Who knows if Jameis Winston is being serious with his podiatrist answer as he’s always full of jokes.

Fortunately for their sakes, they don’t have to worry about that. Some may pick up a second career after football, though. Even Tom Brady has another job now.
