Matt Elam Working As Sporting Good Store Sales Associate 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Feb 27, 2014 5:53 pm

Matt Elam, a first round pick for the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, is spending his offseason as a part-time sales associate at a Finish Line store in Gainesville, Florida.

Elam made $3.7 million last season as the 32nd overall pick in the draft.

Elam hopes to one day own a sports merchandise store.

"I just need to get retail knowledge," Elam told the team's website. "That's basically what I'm doing. I'm getting that knowledge for when it's time."

The mall is a few miles from the University of Florida, where Elam was a first-team All-American.
