Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman William Sweet entered the National Football League as an undrafted rookie out of the University of North Carolina, earning a roster spot on the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. Before he ever played in a regular-season game, he found himself out for the year with a ligament injury.
The injury gave him time to realize that, even as a man in his early 20s, a lucrative pro sports career can end at any moment. So he started investing in real estate. Courtesy of William Sweet Dallas Cowboys tackle William Sweet during a recent visit to NASA.
“That s when my eyes opened up,” said Sweet, 23, who made his NFL debut with the Dallas Cowboys last year. “I wanted it to last forever. How can I make this last forever? Business was my way out.”
