Natrone Means makes a run at a new job: college coaching

Posted Oct 26, 2005

Natrone Means made his living running straight at - and sometimes over - tacklers. Yet the big, bruising NFL back seemed to be doing his best to sidestep the next step in a life built on football. After injuries ended his playing days, Means dabbled in real estate. He played golf. He started a youth football association. But he just couldn't get away from the pull of the sport he had played since he was 7. Finally, he succumbed and became a coach. (CBS Sportsline)
