Packers’ Amos wants to coach youth football after playing career

Read Time:1 Minute, 40 Second

Adrian Amos is one of the best safeties in the NFL. At just 29-years-old, he should still have quite a few years left in his playing career. However, the Green Bay Packers star revealed on Twitter what his plans are for after his playing career is over. If you know anything about Adrian Amos, it won’t surprise you.

Many NFL stars go into the broadcast booth or college/pro coaching after their playing careers are over. For example, former Packers running back Edgar Bennett is the current wide receivers coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been on the Packers coaching staff for years.

Adrian Amos, however, has no desire to coach on the collegiate or pro levels. He revealed on Twitter Sunday that he wants to coach kids.

When asked by a follower why he does not want to coach on a higher level, Amos had a very family-oriented response.

Tony Jefferson II is currently a safety with the Baltimore Ravens. After going undrafted in 2013, he signed with the Arizona Cardinals, but has played most of his career with the Ravens. He responded to Amos’ Tweet, agreeing that he, too, would like to coach high school. More than that, he wants to schedule a game with Amos’ team.

It is no surprise that Adrian Amos has a desire to help kids become better football players. In 2019, the same year he signed with the Green Bay Packers, Amos started the Adrian “Smash” Amos I’m Still Here Foundation. It is dedicated to providing resources to underprivileged kids and families in urban areas. Additionally, it works with families affected by Alzheimer’s Disease.
