Shaun Draughn Goes from Real Estate Salesman to Starting NFL Running Back

Posted Nov 25, 2015
Shaun Draughn’s career was at a low point in 2013. The undrafted running back had just been released by the Baltimore Ravens. After already being let go by two other teams, Draughn began to consider life after football and turned to real estate, something he’d always been interested in. But more phone calls and tryouts from NFL teams allowed Draughn to put those plans on hold. (San Francisco 49ers)
