On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by NFL/CFL Veteran, Super Bowl Champion and founder of the Athletes Forward Foundation, Selvish Capers.

Selvish Capers was a basketball player who decided to try playing tight end. Fast Forward a few years later and he’s an all conference offensive lineman at West Virginia. He moved to offensive tackle while Coach Rich Rodriguez was leading the Mountaineers on one of their best runs in school history. In his second year in the NFL, Selvish would go on to win a Super Bowl with the New York Giants.

Capers would play in the CFL after a few seasons in the NFL and then ultimately move on to life after being an athlete. He has tried a few professional endeavors but a clear passion for helping other athletes emerged. For the last few years the Athletes Forward Foundation has helped high school athletes build life skills outside of sports to ease their transition out of being an athlete when they have to ‘hang it up’. Selvish focuses his work in the Louisiana area.
