Alfred Morris, other NFL players gain business knowledge at Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Alfred Morris came to the University of Michigan this week trying to figure out another piece of his future.

What happens next for Morris in the NFL is an unknown; he's heading toward free agency after four years with the Washington Redskins. The non-football piece -- that's what he was trying to find at the Ross School of Business at Michigan during the NFL's Business Academy, a week-long program to help athletes figure out post-football life.

And what did he learn?

"I do want to start a business one day, don't know what type of business and I was hoping coming here would give me a direction of which direction I would like to go," Morris said.
