Former Eagles Troy Vincent and James Thrash were high character players during their NFL careers. They are now working to help other former players adjust to life after football, something that is far trickier than most people realize.
This article from the Boston Globe talks about the efforts of each man.
I know some fans like to talk about James “Trash” and rip the guy, but that’s not fair at all. He is a former D-2 player that made a nice career for himself. The fact Andy Reid tried to make him the lead receiver in a pass-happy attack isn’t Thrash’s fault. He was a solid NFL player, but not meant for that role.
