Not trying to come off rude, but you're a pro football player and you're asking a bodybuilding forum how to obtain sponsors? Don't you have an agent to help with things like this? I would think after nearly a decade of playing pro ball that your connections would run pretty deep by now. I understand that you're looking to get sponsored in a completely separate sport, but it still seems like you should have some pretty strong connections at this point in your career. Good luck to you.

Exactly. Regardless of moving to another sport, an agent would be able to help find sponsors. Very odd to say the least

I played college ball and am in strongman too. There isnt as much notoriety in strongman as football. And most "sponsors" are small little supplement stores, and thats just the legit non-shady side. Most of us that compete know its not gonna pay anything. Maybe start by going to a local supplement store and talking to them. May sound like a dumb idea, but its a start.
