Journey From the NFL to Wall Street
Whether Authentic Miles Burris Jersey it’s on the football field or Wall Street, Eugene Profit knows how to play the game.
Profit, a Yale University graduate with a bachelor’s degree in economics and a former cornerback for the New England Patriots and the Washington Redskins, entered the financial sector in 1991 when he was forced to retire from the NFL due to a torn hamstring. News recently spoke with Profit, 48, about his passion for finance, what the NFL taught him about money and how the company he founded 15 years ago with $300,000 in assets under management has grown to nearly $2 billion today. His responses have been edited.
What was it like making the transition from the NFL to Wall Street?
Any transition from a sports league to something else is extraordinarily difficult. You go from being in this world where there’s this degree of exposure and popularity. You’ve been used to having structured schedules and structured goals in your life. Then you transition over into this world of complete freedom and isolation. I think that’s a pretty big adjustment. And don’t forget that, in most cases, you’re pretty young when this transition occurs.
What did you tell Emmitt Thomas, the Redskins position coach, when he asked you during your last year in the NFL whether you’re going into coaching or going to Wall Street?
I told him I wasn’t sure. I was equally split on what direction to take. In coaching, you are directing people to achieve. You are trying to analyze where they are and help them get better. It’s like that in money Authentic Sio Moore Jersey management, where you help individuals with their portfolio and help them make good investments.

What was the deciding factor in choosing to pursue finance?
When I left Yale, I knew that when I stopped playing football, I would need something to do that I was passionate about and would enjoy. For me, that’s Authentic Mychal Rivera Jersey always been based in economics and business and entrepreneurship.
Before I was injured, I had already started looking into business ventures and looking at stock brokerages. I had my hand in the stock market, so it was a [logical] switch.
Did the NFL prepare you for the fierce competition on Wall Street?
As an individual, I would say yes. There’s an acronym a lot of NFL players use for the Usama Young Raiders Jersey league: not for long. There’s always somebody working as hard as you, and they’re always training someone to be your replacement. I think Wall Street is that way if you don’t perform, clients replace you.
Did you gain financial knowledge on the football field?
As a football player, you have to be consumed with playing the game. You need to prepare and put yourself in the best position to keep playing. Intense focus and going through sequential steps to succeed is applicable to a lot of areas, so it was easy for me to apply it to working in finance.
Who was the most influential person in your financial career?
The answer may seem odd, but I think that person was me. I really didn’t know how difficult this business is. I went out on my own and focused on growing my own firm managing the money the way I saw fit. I didn’t try to emulate a lot of other people. I think not knowing how this business works allowed me time to pay for my own mistakes. I wasn’t making money starting out, but I had money from [my football career] to support my business.

The fact that I grew up without a lot of money allowed me to be comfortable not making a lot in the beginning. When I started my company, that was a period of time when I could have been making a lot more doing work for someone else, but I was focused on doing it my way and stayed with it long enough to convince more people to allow Profit Investments to manage their portfolio.

What We Learned from Week 6
Still Winless: Buffalo (0 5), Carolina (0 5) Still Not Blocking Anyone: the Chicago Bears offense
Still Unrepentant: James Harrison (Rant follows.)
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been taken to the proverbial woodshed by media poobahs decrying his ’take no prisoners’ attitude, specifically the fact that he somewhat Larry Csonka Jersey proudly asserts that he is in fact trying to hurt people. While I get trying to protect players (as much as possible) from dirty hits, what the Cleveland is going on with people getting upset about Harrison’s attitude?
This is Dan Marino Jersey football. It’s not figure skating. This is not a contact sport, it’s a collision sport. Those collisions go a long way to determining the outcome of a game. Hit a guy hard enough, and he might start making ‘business decisions’ (thanks, Deion) before venturing into enemy territory again.
Consider the following quotes:
“When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.” Dick Butkus
“I don’t feel sorry for anybody out here. I really don’t.” Hardy Brown
“Pro football will always be a game of hitting.” George Halas
“When you have two teams that know what they’re doing, and two teams that have great athletes on both sides, then, usually, the game is decided by the team that hits the hardest.” Don Shula
“When you lose the battle of hitting, I’m not sure you’re going to win the other battle either.” Raymond Berry
“Well, the critical part of football is hitting the other man before he’s ready for it.” Dan Carpenter Bills Jersey Bill Walsh
Professional football is a violent sport, predicated upon physical dominance. The players are willing participants. There are no draftees here. There Nigel Bradham Bills Jersey are no conscripts here. There are only men who understand that the shortest distance between two points might be through the next man.
James Harrison, you have nothing to apologize for. (Rant ends.)
The New York Jets have the best record in football right now. Don’t expect that to change anytime soon. As a long time Bears fan, I can remember a team that called it like they saw it, because, as the old saying goes,it ain’t braggin’ if you can back it up. The Jets are backing it up.
The AFC South is insane. If Bill Parcells is correct, and you are what your record says you are, then this division is the best division in football, hands down, bar none. The scary part is that every team in this division is still trying to get all oars in the water and pulling the same way
Sam Bradford, Dan Marino. Dan Marino, Sam Bradford
Yes, I am saying that Bradford’s rookie campaign at quarterback is the finest that the league has seen since ol’ Number 13 laced ‘em up for the Dolphins back in the day. The kid is utterly unflappable. He might not throw for Mike Pouncey Dolphins Jersey as many yards as Marino did, but he’s every bit as fearless.
Yes, San Francisco finally won a game. No, it won’t be enough to save Mike Singletary’s job.
Speaking of jobs, can we FINALLY say that Norv Turner is past his sell by date? It’s one thing when you’re mailing it in with a roster utterly bereft of talent (I’m looking at you, John Fox). It’s another thing entirely when your team should be dominating what is easily the worst division in football, when instead they find themselves at the bottom of said division. Two games under .500 after only six games? Pathetic. This team can’t hire Brian Billick soon enough.
There are four teams in the league with one win: Cleveland (no surprise), Detroit (no surprise), San Francisco (mild surprise), and Dallas. Cue Dandy Don: turn out the lights, the party’s over.
Seriously, though, how many times will a Bears quarterback have to get sacked before Mike Martz changes the blocking schemes in his offense?
This just might be a different season for the Houston Texans after all. They are currently 4 2, and they have a bye week to prepare for Indianapolis. That will be the game that tells us what we need to know about them. Should they beat the Colts again, in Indianapolis, a game that the Colts desperately need to keep their division hopes alive, then we will know that the Texans are for real. The Buccaneers had the look of a spoiler early, until the Saints rather rudely reminded them of their proper place in the pecking order. They have dropped three of their last four, and it’s pretty indicative of where your team is when the only team you’ve beaten in the last month is the Detroit Lions.
Welcome back, Deion Branch.
If you’d told me before the season started that the Indianapolis Colts would be 4 2 after six games, I’d have agreed with you. If you’d told me that both of their losses would have been in their own division, a division that they’ve treated like their own private wine cellar since Peyton Cameron Wake Dolphins Jersey Manning began fulfilling his destiny, I’d have made you a fairly substantial wager, and I’d have lost.
