Shoppers at the NBA store in Manhattan might be surprised on Tuesday to find six professional football players working the cash register, making custom jerseys and tidying up the store.
Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard and the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Josh Dobbs are among the players who will be there.
They are participating in an externship program the NFL Players Association organized to help athletes prepare for life after football.
“They’ll learn what it’s really like to work in a retail store,” said Rebecca Kulick, director of the NFLPA externship program for Fanatics, the licensing firm that runs the NBA store and on-site retail for some NFL stadiums.
