Fellowships helping former players get NFL jobs

Atlanta Falcons intern coach Lance Schulters works at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC, on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019. Schulters faced a dilemma when his decade as an NFL player was ending. Schulters knew he wanted to continue in the game, possibly in coaching. The problem: He was told to basically start from scratch, sort of like a proven chef being told to work the grill at McDonald's. (Kara Durrette/Atlanta Falcons via AP)
