Kind of a cool story.

Many NFL players will go to a mall this offseason. Baltimore Ravens safety Matt Elam, though, is working in one.
Elam, a first-round pick a year ago, is spending his offseason as a part-time sales associate at Finish Line at the Gainesville, Fla., mall before he reporting back to the Ravens in April. He works about 20 hours per week, helping customers with shoes on the floor and occasionally stocking shelves.
His goal is to open his own sports merchandise store.
"I just need to get retail knowledge," Elam told the team's official website. "That's basically what I'm doing. I'm getting that knowledge for when it's time."
